Martyrdom Of Saint Toribio Romo
$7.99Add to cartChronicles the life of Toribio Romo, a victim of persecution of the Church in Mexico in the 20th century. He was murdered in 1920, and canonized by Pope John Paul II in 2000. Today he is becoming well-known as the patron of immigrants. This booklet reconstructs the world in which he lived and examines the tumultous relationship between church and state in Mexico at that time. It is a story of courage in the face of terrorism and an example of how persecution usually makes the Church stronger.
