Fundación Luis de Trelles y Noguerol

About the foundation

Fundación Luis de Trelles y Noguerol is a nationwide organization established in 1991, the centenary of Luis de Trelles's death. The Spanish Eucharistic Adoration Association (ANE) founded it after publishing the first biography of its founder and conducting extensive research that led to the opening of his canonization cause. Trelles's many supporters and friends prompted ANE to create a foundation with a broad mission and a leading role in promoting that cause.

Mission and resources

The foundation has two goals: to advance Luis de Trelles's canonization and to promote devotion to the Blessed Sacrament. It shares his life and Eucharistic message—his contemporaries called him “the Apostle of the Eucharist”—and provides ways for supporters and worshippers to take part.

• Information about Luis de Trelles's life and message.
• Promotion of his canonization cause.
• Books and other publications about his life and work, including the La Lámpara del Santuario publishing collection and supplements.
• Lectures exploring his life and legacy.
• A photo gallery of foundation events.
• Prayer resources and a novena to Venerable Luis de Trelles, available in several languages and as PDFs.
• Collection of accounts of favors attributed to his intercession, which the foundation invites people to share.
