VATICAN CITY (CNS) \u2014 Seventeen Catholic priests, sisters, seminarians and lay workers were murdered in 2025, according to Fides, the Vatican\u2019s missionary news agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five of the victims were killed in Nigeria<\/a> where kidnapping priests, seminarians and school students for ransom has plagued the Christian community, Fides reported Dec. 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Archbishop Fortunatus Nwachukwu, a Nigerian and secretary of the Dicastery for Evangelization\u2019s missionary section, told Fides, \u201cAll of this is a cause of great sadness and also some shame because Nigeria is one of the countries with the most religious populations in the world \u2014 a people of believers, Christians<\/a> and Muslims.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe all say that we are people of peace,\u201d the archbishop said. \u201cWe must all reject any justification for using religion to commit violent acts, including killing people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a situation of \u201cgeneralized violence,\u201d particularly in areas where farmers and nomadic shepherds were engaged in violent clashes, Archbishop Nwachukwu<\/a> said, it appears that anti-Christian groups have infiltrated the nomadic groups and are targeting Christians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asked about the U.S. airstrikes on northwestern Nigeria Dec. 25, which U.S. President Donald Trump said targeted Islamic State terrorists who were persecuting Christians, the archbishop responded that the Nigerian \u201cgovernment\u2019s paralysis is evident. In this situation, an indirect intervention from outside, to support the state and the government against extremist groups<\/a> and to help the country remove the causes of widespread violence, might not be entirely unjustified or inappropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crimes were committed in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Two catechists were killed in Burkina Faso in January, and Kenya, Sierra Leone and Sudan<\/a> each suffered the murder of a priest in 2025, bringing to 10 the number of church personnel killed in Africa during the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fides\u2019 annual list included one priest murdered in Europe \u2014 Father Grzegorz Dymek, 58, who was found strangled in the rectory of Our Lady of Fatima parish in Klobuck, Poland, in February; and one in North America \u2014 Father \u201cArul\u201d Raj Balaswamy Carasala<\/a>, 57, a naturalized U.S. citizen from India, who was shot outside Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Seneca, Kansas, in April. The man who confessed to killing him is undergoing a court-ordered mental health evaluation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other missionaries cited in the Fides report were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Sister Evanette Onezaire and Sister Jeanne Voltaire of the Congregation of the Little Sisters of St. Th\u00e9r\u00e8se of the Child Jesus<\/a> who were murdered by members of an armed militia in Mirebalais, Haiti<\/a>, in late March, Fides reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Father Bertoldo Pantale\u00f3n Estrada<\/a>, whose body was discovered Oct. 6 in the municipality of Mezcal in Mexico\u2019s Guerrero state two days after he was reported missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Father Donald Martin Ye Naing Win<\/a>, who was the first priest to die in Myanmar\u2019s ongoing armed conflict, Fides said. He was found stabbed to death and mutilated Feb. 14 on the grounds of Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Kan Gyi Taw, a small village in central Myanmar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Mark Christian Malaca<\/a>, a 39-year-old lay teacher at St. Stephen Academy in Laur, Philippines, was shot and killed in early November, reportedly by two men on a motorcycle who wore helmets, facemasks and black jackets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
