Mateo Correa Magallanes was a Mexican Catholic priest born in Tepechitlán in 1866. After receiving a scholarship to study in Zacatecas, he was ordained in 1893. Throughout his ministry, which included serving in Concepción del Oro and Colotlán, he was known for his devotion, notably administering first communion to Miguel Pro. During the religious repression beginning in 1910, he lived in hiding before being assigned to Valparaíso. His commitment to his duties led to his arrest while he was delivering the Viaticum to a believer.
