Catholic Anchor

DENVER, Colo. — Three Catholic priests, including one hailed by Pope Saint
Pius X as a martyr for the faith, were among the victims of the Titanic disaster
remembered during its 100th anniversary last month.
All three of the European-born priests – Father Juozas Montvila of Lithuania,
Father Josef Peruschitz, O.S.B. of Bavaria, and English rector Father Thomas
Byles – are said to have declined lifeboats in order to offer spiritual aid to
travelers who perished in the shipwreck, which claimed 1,503 lives.
