Jose Ramon Miguel Agustin Pro Juarez, known as Blessed Miguel Agustin Pro was a Jesuit priest. Mexican President Plutarco Elias Calles ordered Pro’s execution on false charges of attempting to assassinate former President Alvaro Obregon.  Pro was executed by a firing squad on Nov. 23, 1927. 
Mexico was swept by an anti-Catholic wave. Public worship was banned. Pro worked clandestinely as a priest. Then came the false charges! A companion of his said about Pro: There were two Pros: Playful Pro and prayerful Pro. He was beatified on 25 September 1988 by Pope John Paul II.
