Toribio Romo González was a Mexican Catholic priest born in Jalisco in 1900. During the religious persecutions of the Cristero War, he lived a mobile life to avoid government forces while continuing his ministry. He served various parishes in his home state before being killed by soldiers in Tequila in 1928. He was later canonized by Pope John Paul II as a martyr. Today, he is widely recognized as a protector for those navigating the border between Mexico and the United States.
