Saint Joseph de Anchieta, Priest (Optional Memorial)
Joseph de Anchieta (1534-1597) was born in Tenerife, Spain. He was sent for studies to Coimbra, Portugal, and there entered the Jesuit novitiate in 1551. He suffered a spinal injury during his novitiate and was sent to Brazil to recuperate, but remained there for forty-four years. Over the years he was present at the decisive events of the first century of Brazilian history. He became a major architect of the “reductions” which aimed to educate the nomadic tribes and protect them from slave-raiders. In several ways he was a most extraordinary man and is acclaimed as the “Apostle of Brazil. Anchieta was declared a Saint through a decree of “equivalent canonization” by Pope Francis on 3 April 2014.
