Abstract

The present text analyses an overview of the pastoral situation of Toluca region during the archiepiscopal government of Don Pelagio Antonio Labastida y Dávalos. Thus, we can see a reconfiguration of the ecclesiastical geography in this region, as well as the pastoral dynamics of various parishes and the arrival of some religious congregations. Furthermore, there is a special attention on how the participation of the laity in pastoral life developed altogether with the foundation of pious associations, the development of catechesis and works of social nature. All these situations were enough reasons to have the intention to establish a new diocese in the region, many years after, it was finally conceived the current Archdiocese of Toluca.
