The devotion that crossed the border · A living map
US parishes of Saint Toribio Romo
A verified map of the parishes, missions, and diocesan shrines dedicated to Saint Toribio Romo in the United States. The list is short because the criterion is strict: we include only communities whose formal dedication to the saint is recognized by their diocese. It's a living archive — if you know a parish that should be here, you can propose it at the bottom of the page.
The criterion
What does this map include?
We apply a strict rule: to appear on the map, a community must be a parish, mission, or canonically recognized shrine whose dedication to Saint Toribio Romo is officially registered by the corresponding diocese. This excludes — respectfully — the many US churches that maintain a private devotion to the saint, a side altar, an image, or a visiting relic.
We prefer a short rigorous list to a long uncertain one. The parishes listed here are the ones a pilgrim can visit with confidence that their trip leads to a place formally dedicated to the saint. If one is missing — and surely more than one is — please write to us.
