The Ulma family: seven martyrs of the Christian faith

On December 17, Pope Francis approved a decree on the martyrdom, in defense of the faith, of the seven members of the Polish Ulma family in the town of Markowa. The parents, Jozef and Wiktoria, gave hiding place to a persecuted Jewish family, and for that reason they were killed together with their children: six minors and the one Wiktoria, pregnant, was carrying in her womb.

Although the Church's work with people with disabilities is not new, the difficulties encountered by these faithful and their families continue to be numerous. Physical barriers and prejudices are still present when it comes to a full experience of faith and the participation of these people in the ecclesial community.
