Darío Acosta Zurita was a Mexican Catholic priest who served in Veracruz during the early 20th century. Born in 1908, he was known for his athletic nature and his dedicated service to teaching catechism to children. Following his ordination by Bishop Rafael Guízar Valencia in early 1931, he served as a coadjutor vicar. His ministry was cut short only three months later when he was killed during a violent attack on the cathedral by gunmen acting under the anti-religious Tejeda Law.
