About this listen

 Explore the riveting life of Saint Edmund Campion, a determined Catholic Jesuit priest who risked it all to minister to the persecuted Catholics of Elizabethan England. Despite operating clandestinely, he was apprehended by relentless priest hunters and unfairly convicted of high treason. This extraordinary figure faced his gruesome execution at Tyburn with grace and unwavering faith. Recognized for his courage and devotion, he was beatified in 1886 by Pope Leo XIII and canonised as one of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales in 1970 by Pope Paul VI.
