Ordained in 1925, Miguel Pro was a Jesuit priest in Mexico, where public worship was banned. Nevertheless, Pro continued his ministry in secret, often in disguise. When President C alles' car was bombed, Pro was wrongfully convicted. Hoping to portray Pro as a coward, Calles sent a photograper to the execution. The photo portayed the truth: a brave Miguel Pro, arms outstretched, declaring, "Viva Cristo Rey!" (Long live Christ the King!) Feast Day: November 23 Patronage: Courage, Mexico Show more
