Jacinto de los Angeles
Feast: 18 September (not on the universal Roman calendar; kept in the Roman Martyrology or local calendars)
Who they were
Juan Bautista and Jacinto de los Ángeles (c. 1660 – 16 September 1700) were Mexican Catholics. The pair were both instructed to protect moral practices in their town and to ensure that the faith was safeguarded in the face of pagan and tribal beliefs and practices. But this put them into conflict with some locals who decided to hunt them down and kill them after the pair interrupted a ritual and confiscated their possessions. The two men were slain after being captured in a local Dominican convent and after having professed their faith to their attackers.
