Blessed Dominic Collins, Religious and Martyr (Optional Memorial)

He served with distinction the cause of the Catholic League for over nine years. He was appointed military governor of Brittany. At thirty-two, he settled into a comfortable life in Spain. He felt, however, the call to religious life. He was accepted into the novitiate in Santiago de Compostela in north-west Spain, as a coadjutor Brother in 1598. In February 1601, he accompanied a Jesuit chaplain to Ireland on a mission from the King of Spain. When they landed, Ireland was being besieged by the English. Collins was arrested, imprisoned, and finally sentenced to death.
