PRO JUÁREZ, MIGUEL AGUSTÍN. - Jesuit, b. at Concepción del Oro (Zacatecas) on 18 Jan. 1891, d., shot, in Mexico City on 23 Nov. 1927.
Having entered the Society of Jesus in 1911, he was obliged, because of the religious persecution unleashed in Mexico, to complete all his studies abroad. Returning as a priest to Mexico City in 1926, he exercised there every possible ministry, in disguise, sought by the government, amid adventures of every kind. Finally, accused of the attempt on the life of former president Obregón, he was arrested by order of president Calles and, despite his evident innocence, was condemned to be shot by a mere secret order of the military tribunal. Venerated by all as a martyr, after his death his tomb continually receives petitions for graces and letters of thanks for favors obtained. The cause of beatification was introduced on 11 Jan. 1952 (AAS, 44 [1952], pp. 285-87).
