Saints Roch González, Alphonsus Rodríguez and John del Castillo, Priests and Martyrs (Optional Memorial)

The Province of Paraguay was established in 1607 to minister to the nomadic Guaraní Indian tribes. The first Jesuit priest sent to San Ignacio Guazú Mission was Roch González. He was joined in 1627 by Alphonsus Rodríguez and John del Castillo, both natives of Spain. Their successful missionary activities brought the Jesuits into conflict with a local religious leader, who was responsible for putting the missionaries to death.
