The November 2012 plenary assembly of the Conference of Spanish Bishops set the date and the venue for the beatification of the next group of 20th century Spanish martyrs. It will take place at the end of the Year of Faith, on the 27th of October 2013 in Tarragona, in Spain. Among the group there is Fr. Carmel Maria Moyano, O.Carm., and nine of his companions from the Betica province, along with Fr. Alberto Marco Alemán, O.Carm., and eight companions from the Province of Castile.

The statement from the Spanish Bishop’s Conference says that the office for the causes of the saints will be in contact with the the various people who are responsible for the different causes. The statement also invites everyone to engage in a spiritual preparation in each province, order or diocese, through a catechesis that may be offered to young people and other groups, so that the “witness and intercession of all these martyrs may contribute to the growth and to the joy and faith of the entire people of God”
