Mexican martyr Angel Darío Acosta canonization

Entities: Veracruz Cathedral · San Mateo Parish · Father Aurelio Mojica Limón · Ángel Darío Acosta Zurita · Naolinco

Overview

In July 2026 the Diocese of Veracruz continued active steps toward the canonization of the 1931 martyr Ángel Darío Acosta Zurita. A monthly devotion was held on the 25th of each month, relics of the beatus were displayed in the cathedral, and the diocese gathered testimonies of a purported miracle for scientific review before forwarding the dossier to Rome. A week later, a special noon Mass commemorated the 95th anniversary of his death, with clergy urging a prompt canonization and confirming that priest‑historian Ismael Villegas remains in charge of the cause.
