{"title":"📚 St. Toribio Romo","description":"\u003cp\u003eSt. Toribio Romo was a Mexican Catholic priest and martyr who gave his life during the persecution of the Church in Mexico. Born in Jalisco in 1900, he was ordained a priest at a young age and served in several parishes. During the Cristero persecution, when the celebration of public worship was severely restricted and priests were targeted, Toribio continued his ministry in secret, celebrating the sacraments and encouraging the faithful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn February 25, 1928, government soldiers discovered him at a ranch where he was staying and killed him. His martyrdom became a powerful witness to the courage of Mexican Catholics who remained faithful during persecution. He was canonized by Pope St. John Paul II in 2000, together with other Mexican martyrs. In popular devotion, he is especially invoked by migrants and those undertaking dangerous journeys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLived:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 16, 1900 – February 25, 1928 | \u003cstrong\u003eFeast Day:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 21 (with St. Christopher Magallanes and Companions); martyred February 25, 1928 | \u003cstrong\u003eCanonized:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 21, 2000, by Pope St. John Paul II\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePatronage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Migrants, travelers, and those seeking protection during journeys.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"saint-toribio-holy-card","title":"Saint Toribio Holy Card","description":"","brand":"San Francis Imports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67594847682804,"sku":"HC9-504S","price":0.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/2080\/9460\/files\/HC9-504S-resized.jpg?v=1790620478"}],"url":"https:\/\/stanthonyshop.com\/collections\/st-toribio-romo.oembed","provider":"St. Anthony's Catholic Gift Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
