1556On the banks of the St. Lawrence River, Leonard Garreau, a young Jesusit missionary, was mortally wounded by the Iroquois.
1591Gregory XIV by his Brief, Exponi nobis, canceled Sixtus V's decree whereby novices could only be admitted at the General or Provincial Congregation.
1615At Paris died Etiene Pasquier, jurist, a bitter enemy of the Society. His Catechisme des Jesuites equals in the coarseness of its invectives the violent language of Luther.
1726At Constantinople died Father James Cachod, Apostle of the Turks’ galley-slaves, among whom were many Christian captives.
1978Handwritten letter of Pope John Paul I to Fr. Arrupe on the availability of the Society to the service of the Church.
