About Blessed Vinçenc. Vinçenc Prennushi was born in Shkodër on September 4, 1885, and served as Bishop of Sapë and then as Archbishop of Durrës from 1940. He was arrested by Albania's communist authorities on May 19, 1947, tried, and sentenced to twenty years in prison. He died in prison on March 19, 1949, after torture.
He was beatified on November 5, 2016, at the cathedral in Shkodër, with other Albanian martyrs, which is why he is called Blessed.
