Saint Anthony Catholic Church 

The Mexican Martyrs Relic Tour features a traveling silver cross reliquary containing first-class bone chip relics of six canonized priest-martyrs who were killed during the 1920s Cristero War in Mexico. Sponsored by the Knights of Columbus, the tour travels across various U.S. dioceses to offer the Catholic faithful opportunities for prayer, reflection, and veneration.

Each of the six saints — Sts. Pedro de Jesus Maldonado, Luis Batis Sainz, Jose Maria Robles Hurtado, Mateo Correa Megallanes, Miguel del la Mora de la Mora and Rodrigo Aguilar Aleman — was a priest and a member of the Knights of Columbus. They were killed during the persecution of the church in Mexico in the 1920s and 1930s. During that time, the church in Mexico was forbidden to own property, Catholic seminaries and schools were closed, and priests and laity were told to publicly denounce their faith or risk death. These men continued their ministry despite the ban on Catholic practices and were slain. They are among 25 Mexican martyrs Pope John Paul II canonized in 2000.
