In response to seven months of living with one of the toughest immigration laws in the nation, a predominantly Hispanic parish in Tulsa has established a diocesan shrine to St. Toribio Romo, considered by many to be the patron saint of immigrants.
Aside from the original shine to St. Toribio in his hometown of Santa Ana de Guadalupe in the Mexican state of Jalisco, it is believed to be the only other shrine to him in the world.”*
