The Housetops- Bl. Miguel Pro
It was a pleasure to learn Blessed Pro’s story. It’s leading me to learn more about the Cristero’s.

Detailed information on Padre Pro
Having just returned from a trip to Mexico City to visit the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe, I ordered a copy of "From the Housetop" featuring Padre Pro in preparation for the trip. Not knowing much about him, I read the article the evening before our group's scheduled visit to the Church of the Holy Family in Mexico City where his remains our housed. The article provided a detailed understanding of his life and death and I was totally overwhelmed with emotion because of his faithfulness and willingness to calmly go to his death because of his Catholic faith....and this only happened ~80 years ago. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the information ! That issue of From the Housetops was passed around to several people in our tour group and everyone was amazed at his life story. Attached to the church was a museum containing many relics of this amazing person. I pray to him I would have the faith and courage to stand up for Christ if I am ever in the same situation. Well worth reading for every Catholic striving to keep the faith!
