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.

Propose a parish

If there's a parish, mission, or chapel in the United States officially dedicated to Saint Toribio Romo that isn't here, send us the details. Each submission is reviewed by the archive before being published — we verify the formal dedication with the corresponding diocese.

Your email will not be published. It's used only to confirm the submission or ask for clarification if needed. Submissions with links to non-official sites or commercial content will not be published.

Sources & methodology

Research for this map was conducted by consulting the official websites of each parish, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), individual dioceses, local press coverage (Tulsa World, Texas Monthly, Aleteia, Catholic News Agency), and academic sources on the transnational devotion to Saint Toribio Romo. Each parish is verified with an explicit date. Next scheduled review: April 2027.

The four entries on the main map represent — as far as we have been able to verify — the only formal dedications to Saint Toribio Romo in the United States at this time. If that number is incomplete, we welcome the correction.
