Rooted in the gospel and Catholic Tradition and committed to the mission of Jesus Christ, the Saint Toribio Romo Immigrant Center exists to strengthen and coordinate pastoral ministry to immigrants in Pilsen and Little Village in a way that fully integrates and empowers them socially and spiritually.
Toribio Romo Gonzalez was a Roman Catholic priest martyred by Mexican federal troops in 1928 during the Cristero Wars, an uprising against Mexico’s anti-Catholic government. It is said St. Toribio appears to migrants in the Sonoran Desert on the US-Mexico border and assists them as they make their way across the border and into the United States.
