Antonio Alcalde Barriga (14 March 1701 - 7 August 1792) was a Spanish Roman Catholic prelate and professed member from the Order of Preachers who served as the Bishop of Guadalajara.[1][2][3] He served in Dominicans convents across his homeland for over three decades as a teacher and prior before King Carlos III appointed him to a diocese in Mexico where he would be until being relocated to Guadalajara.[3][4] It was there that his main legacies included the hospital and college he helped found there in addition to his dedication to restoring and constructing churches and schools.[1][2]
His beatification process opened in late 1994 and he became titled as a Servant of God. The cause later stalled due to low promotion and little interest though was resumed in 2013 upon new impetus for promoting his life and holiness.[2][4]
