About Francesc de Paula Castelló Aleu
- Blessed Francesc de Paula Castelló Aleu (19 April 1914 – 29 September 1936) was a Spanish Roman Catholic killed during the Spanish Civil War on false accusations of fascism.
- Castelló was noted for his devout and outgoing nature in addition for his activism in Christian movements such as the Catholic Action; he had friends from these movements and in one met his fiancée though his death broke their soon-to-be union.
- He worked as a chemist for a time prior to conscription into the armed services on the eve of the civil war. His beatification was confirmed after Pope John Paul II – who beatified him on 11 March 2001 – acknowledged the fact that Castelló had been killed "in odium fidei" (in hatred of the faith).
- He was beatified as part of the cause of 232 others.
