1637At Naples died Father Francis Pavone. Inflamed by his words and holy example, sixty of his class of Philosophy, and the entire class of Poetry embraced the Religious State.
1831On this day, Fr. General Roothaan’s letter declaring Missouri an independent mission (from Maryland) finally reaches the Missouri Jesuits. Their superior is Fr. Theodore De Theux. He communicated this to the 15 members of the Society in the West. This status gives the mission the privilege of having its own novitiate.
