ST. TURIBIUS DE MONGROVEJO – BISHOP: March 23

March 23, 2020 01:00 / Catholic Fun Facts

St. Turibius was born in 1538 at Majorca, Spain.  He was a Professor of Law at the University of  Salamanca and was appointed president of the court of the Inquisition at Granada.  In 1581 he was named Archbishop of Peru despite his objections.  He was still a layman.  He was ordained and consecrated and sent to Lima, Peru.  It was a difficult charge both religiously and geographically.  During the next 25 years, he worked diligently for his flock covering the entire diocese entirely on foot through the steaming heat and tropical maladies.  He worked to reform the clergy and instruct people in the Faith.  He defended the Indians’ rights to the secular authorities who mistreated them.  He founded the first seminary on the American continent, baptizing and confirming close to a million people.   He learned the languages of the people. Among other ministrations he befriended and confirmed St. Rose of Lima.  He died at the age of 68 in 1606.  He was canonized March 23, 1726.
