Saint Mateo Correa Magallanes (1866-1927)

Saint Mateo Correa Magallanes was born in Tepechitlán, Zacatecas, Mexico in the diocese of Zacatecas on July 23, 1866. Father Correa Magallanes, a members of Knights of Columbus Council 2140, was a parish priest of Valparaiso, Zacatecas.
Father Mateo faithfully fulfilled his priestly duties: to evangelize, to serve the poorest of the poor, to obey his bishop, to unite himself to Christ, the Priest and the Victim – even becoming a martyr rather than breaking the seal of confession. Father Mateo was constantly harassed and was arrested several times – the last time while he was visiting the sick. They kept him several days in Fresnillo, Zacatecas before moving him to Durango. There the general asked him to hear the confessions of the prisoners. Later he demanded, under the threat of death, that Father Mateo reveal to him what had been confessed Father Correa responded with dignity, “You can do whatever you want, but do not forget that a priest must keep the secret of the confessional. I am prepared to die.” He was shot in a cemetery at the outskirts of Durango, on February 6, 1927. It was thus that this self-sacrificing and kind parish priest entered on his true life.
