It takes one’s breath away to think of what St. Francis Xavier did as a missionary during only ten years. If you or I had been born in the 16th century and had been sent as a missionary to the "Indies", what would we have done?


I know what I would have done. I would have stayed in Goa all my life, doing what I could to help people become good Christians. Or, I would go to another city and try to evangelize that little corner of the vineyard.

Today, October 19, 1852, the Spanish Queen issues a royal decree authorizing the return of the Jesuits to the Philippines to handle the missions in Mindanao and Jolo.


Historical account shows that hundreds of Spanish missionaries labored and died to build up a Christian nation in the Far East. 


The early Spanish missionaries of the different religious orders (the Augustinians, Franciscans, Jesuits, Dominicans and Recolects) were the pioneer builders of Christian Philippines.
