The Catholic Church does not recognize his official status as a saint, but his following has extended through the northern part of Mexico and the southwest of United States.
While in elementary school, he met Father Segura, as well as Enrique López de la Fuente, who was the janitor as well as his friend, and later, his protector.
[2] In 1921, Enrique returned from the revolutionary struggle and went to work for Antonio L. Rodríguez at the San Rafael mine in Espinazo (Nuevo León) [es], a village about 120 miles from the Rio Grande.
On February 8, 1928, President Plutarco Elías Calles visited Espinazo and attended a healing session with Niño Fidencio.
[citation needed] According to devotees, Fidencio continues to work miracles through people called cajitas or materias who channel his power.
