"I pardon you, and my Father God pardons you,
and long live Christ the King!"
Saint Jenaro Sánchez DelGadillo was born on September 19, 1886 in Jalisco, Mexico. He was a seminarian in Guadalajara, Mexico and was ordained in 1911. He was assigned to several parishes. He cared for his parishioners, especially those who were sick. He had great organization and administrative skills. Anti-religious laws were promulgated, so he began to celebrate Mass in people's homes. He was arrested on January 17, 1927 while preparing to celebrate Mass on a farm. He died on that day by being hanged from a tree in Jalisco, Mexico. His body was left there hanging as a warning. His relics are in Jalisco. He was canonized by Pope John Paul II in Mexico during the Jubilee Year on May 21, 2000.
