(Ascó, 22 September 1680 - Fuzhou, 26 May 1747) ({{lang-ca|Pere Sans i Jordá}}, {{lang-es|Pedro Sans i Jordá}}) was a Catalan Dominican friar who was sent as a missionary bishop to China. He was declared a martyr and canonized by the Catholic Church. Early lifeSanz was born 22 September 1680 in Ascó, Ribera d'Ebre, in the Catalan region of Spain. In 1697 he professed religious vows as a member of the Dominican Order in Lerida. After completing his theological studies, he was ordained a priest on 22 September 1704.[1] Mission in ChinaSanz later volunteered and was accepted to serve in China. He was sent to the Philippines in 1713 to prepare for this mission, where he studied the Chinese language for two years. He then entered China with a small band of fellow friars, where he began a ministry which lasted over 30 years.[2] In January 1728, the Sacred Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith named him as Coadjutor Vicar Apostolic of Fujian, for which he was consecrated a bishop on 22 February 1730 by the Bishop of Nanking, with the new titular see of Maurocastrum. He succeeded to the office of Vicar in January 1732, upon the death of Friar Magino Ventallol, O.P., who had been unable to be consecrated a bishop during the thirteen years of his administration.[3] MartyrdomSanz was arrested by imperial authorities in 1741, along with four other friars. They suffered torture and a long imprisonment in Fuzhou. Finally, on 26 May 1747, Sanz was beheaded. In October 1748, word came that one of his companions had been named his coadjutor bishop by the Holy See. The other friars were executed immediately upon that news.[4] Beatification and canonizationHe and his companions were beatified by Pope Leo XIII on 14 May 1893. They were included among a group of 120 saints known collectively as the "Martyr Saints of China" who were canonized on 1 October 2000 by Pope John Paul II. The group was given the feast day of 9 July.[5] References1. ^Catholic Hierarchy "Bishop St. Peter Sanz" {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Sanz, Peter}}2. ^Companions Martyrs of China Third Order of Penance of St. Dominic "The Martyrs of China" 3. ^Catholic Hierarchy 4. ^Third Order 5. ^Vatican News Service{{it}} 16 : 1680 births|1747 deaths|Spanish Dominicans|Dominican missionaries|Dominican bishops|Dominican martyrs|Dominican saints|Roman Catholic missionaries in China|Catalan Roman Catholic saints|Spanish Roman Catholic saints|People from Ribera d'Ebre|Catalan bishops|18th-century Roman Catholic bishops|18th-century Roman Catholic martyrs|18th-century Christian saints|Deaths by decapitation |
