"On October 20, Pope Francis canonized 14 new saints during a Mass in St. Peter’s Square, emphasizing that “service is the Christian way of life.”

Among those canonized were 11 martyrs from Syria, including eight Franciscan friars and three Maronite laymen who were killed in Damascus in 1860 for refusing to renounce their faith. “These new saints lived Jesus’ way: service,” the pope said."
