GAGELIN, François-Istidore, Blessed. - Of the Paris Foreign Missions, martyred in Cochinchina on 17 Oct. 1833. Born on 17 May 1799 at Montperreux (Besançon), on 7 Nov. 1820, not yet a priest, he set out for Cochinchina, where he arrived in Sept. 1821. A professor at the College of Phoung Ru, he was ordained there on 28 Sept. 1822. In 1825, after intense activity in the provinces of Baria and Saigon, he was a prisoner at the court of Minh Manh; released in 1828 and appointed provisional, he continued his work until the beginning of the persecutions of 1833. Recaptured, in order to spare his flock harassment he gave himself up spontaneously to the executioner and was strangled at Huu. His relics were transported in 1846 to Paris, to the Seminary of the Foreign Missions. He was beatified by Leo XIII on 27 May 1900, together with other martyrs of Annam (v. ANNAMITI, MARTIRI).
