Life and career edit

His father was a priest named Joachim and his mother was named Rozalia.

He studied theology in Budapest (1894–1898), and in 1902 he received his Ph.D. in theology.

The Greek-Catholic clergy edit

He was ordained a priest on 28 September 1898. He worked at the Diocese of Lugoj as rector, dean of Drastic, chancellor and vicar apostolical.

Greek Catholic Bishop edit

On November 4, 1912, he was appointed bishop of Lugoj at age 37. On 25 February 1922, Frentiu was transferred to Oradea and mounted on 3 May that year.

On September 5, 1937, the church dedicated Madaras, and consecrated the church in Istria and Greek-Catholic Bocsa on September 8 of that same year.

After the death of Bishop Alexander Niculescu in 1941, Frentiu was moved to the position of Apostolic Administrator of the Archdiocese of Alba Iulia and Fagaras, ministering here throughout the war. In 1947, he returned to Oradea.

Under communist persecution edit

In Oradea he was arrested on October 28, 1948, and went into camp at Dragoslavele, and then the refusal to pass the Romanian Orthodox Church in February 1949, was taken to the monastery Căldăruşani.

At Căldăruşani, Valeriu Traian Frenţiu consecrated Bishop Bishop, underground, on John Chertes the night of Christmas of 1949.

End of life edit

In 1950, he arrived at Sighet Prison, where, after two years, unable to bear the hardness of extermination regime, he died on July 11, 1952. Other bishops also dead in Sighet, was buried in one night, without a coffin in a mass grave in the Cemetery of the Poor. His grave was leveled to obscure his burial place and to avoid pilgrimages to the graves of the martyrs killed in Sighet.

There has been tried and convicted. In 2011, the City Council decision Resita Dr. Valeriu Traian Frenţiu Martyr Bishop was elected Honorary Citizen of Resita Post Mortem, a town where Frenţiu was born.

On 19 March 2019, Pope Francis approved the beatification of Frenţiu and six other Greek-Catholic bishops killed by the communist regime in Romania in the mid-20th century.[4] Pope Francis personally presided over the beatification of Frențiu and the other six bishops at Liberty Field in Blaj, Romania on 2 June 2019.[1][2]
