St. Jude Apostolate Family Perpetual Enrollment

(c.1500-1549)Luis de Cancer, O.P.

❖ The first martyr of the New World, born in Barbastro, Kingdom of Aragon, Spain.

❖ An early member of the noted Dominican community in Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic) that included Fr. Antonio de Montesinos, O.P. and Fr. Bartolomé de las Casas, O.P.

❖ His uniquely pacifist approach to evangelization of the native peoples enjoyed particular success among the Mayans of southern Mexico and Guatemala. Aware of their sensitivity to music, he used it as an evangelizing tool. He learned one of the native languages, Quiche’, and translated the principal mysteries of the faith into poetic form (couplets), creating a “Ballad of Salvation” that utilized native rhythms, images, and idioms.

❖ On June 25, 1549, as a member of a missionary expedition to Florida, he was clubbed to death by natives as he disembarked on the shores of Tampa Bay.
