About this website

This website was developed by a group of friends of Pedro Ballester with the hope that one day Pedro will be counted among the saints in the Catholic Church. We are asking those who knew Pedro to send us photographs and stories of his life, how they met him, conversations or events that impressed them about him, so that we may publish them here. We would also like to be sent details of any favours received through his intercession.
