Santa Ana de Guadalupe is located in the region called Altos de Jalisco, an area where several armed confrontations took place during the conflict between State and Church, which provoked the uprising by the Catholic population in the second half of the decade. of the twenties of the twentieth century (Meyer, 1994). As a result of this trance, several decades later the Catholic Church declared martyrs and saints to several of the priests and faithful who died in defense of their faith; one of them is Santo Toribio Romo. Toribio Romo was originally from Santa Ana de Guadalupe, was born on April 16, 1900 within a Catholic family and engaged in agricultural work. At the age of 9 years he moved to the municipal seat of Jalostotitlán to attend school and, three years later, he entered the seminary of San Juan de los Lagos. As a seminarian, he begins to participate in different Catholic movements in defense of religious freedom. In 1922, he received the priestly order. His pastoral work and the conflicts of the time led him to serve different parishes, being his last destination Tequila, Jalisco, at the end of the year 1926. For that year there was already the prohibition of worship, so it was not possible to celebrate mass in such a way public. Toribio decides to continue exercising his work as a priest assisting his parishioners clandestinely. Two years later, on February 25, 1928, he was murdered by a troop of soldiers from the federal government.
