Venerable Paul was born on September 25, 1897, in the state of Guanajuato , Mexico
In 1909 he moved to Queretaro
In 1923 he was ordained, becoming a missionary in Mexico
Because he was interested in Catholic education, he opened several colleges along with Mother Enriqueta Rodriguez Noriega. Taking advantage of modern travel, he transversed the world spreading the faith and making new foundations.
He was always grateful to God for the gift of priesthood. He was a priest close to the people, frequently visiting their homes and encouraging them with his infectious joy. He sought holiness in the simple things every day.
