Also included in this roster for today's Saints is Blessed John Perboyre. He joined the Vincetians and was ordained in 1826. He became a professor of a seminary until he was granted permission to go to China as a missionary in 1835 A.D. Blessed John was active in rescuing abandoned Chinese children. When the persecution of Christians began in China, John was arrested and imprisoned. After being subjected to torture so that he will reveal the hiding places of his companions, he was strangled to death for refusing to do so. Blessed John of Perboyre was beatified in 1889 A.D., the first Christian in China to be beatified.
