Custodial History

Files 1-3, comprising accession #2008-07, were assembled over the years by CTU archivist Kenneth O'Malley. The first started in 1985 when Ezekiele Ramin, MCCJ, was killed in service to the Gospel in Brazil. These writings, photos, and correspondence were assembled to help provide resources for Robert Lentz, a well-known iconographer, who was commissioned to paint an icon of Ramin. He was the first student from CTU to be martyred. The other materials were gathered for "A Display of the CTU Martyrs" at the dedication of CTU's new academic center in 2006.
