The Cristero War & the Knights of Columbus

Twenty years ago this past week, Pope St. John Paul II canonized 25 martyrs - including 6 Knights of Columbus members - from the Mexican Cristeros war in the 1920s.

The Knights of Columbus has put together a wonderful article detailing the role of the Knights in Mexico during the persecution of the Church by the Marxist government of Mexico led by Plutarco Calles.  To learn more about this heroic effort by Knights and the faithful Catholics of Mexico, please click on the link below.
