Who they were

Toribio Romo González, known as Saint Toribio Romo (Spanish: santo Toribio Romo, Spanish pronunciation: [ˌsanto toˈɾiβjo ˈromo]; April 16, 1900 – February 25, 1928) was a Mexican Catholic priest and martyr who was killed during the anti-clerical persecutions of the Cristero War. Beatified and later canonized by Pope John Paul II along with 24 other saints and martyrs of the Cristero War, he is popularly venerated in Mexico and among Mexican immigrants, particularly for his reported miraculous appearances to migrants seeking to cross the Mexico–United States border.
