  For 300 years

  Franciscans were at the forefront of the spread of Catholicism in the New World. In the late seventeenth century

  Franciscans developed a far-reaching

  systematic missionary program in Spain and the Americas. After founding the first college of propaganda fide in the Mexican city of Querétaro

  the Franciscan Order established six additional colleges in New Spain

  ten in South America

  and twelve in Spain. From these colleges Franciscans proselytized Indians in frontier territories as well as Catholics in rural and urban areas in eighteenth-century Spain and Spanish America.\n\nTo Sin No More is the first book to study these colleges

  their missionaries

  and their multifaceted

  sweeping missionary programs. By focusing on the recruitment of non-Catholics to Catholicism as well as the deepening of religious fervor among Catholics

  David Rex Galindo shows how the Franciscan colleges expanded and shaped popular Catholicism in the eighteenth-century Spanish Atlantic world. This book explores the motivations driving Franciscan friars

  their lives inside the colleges

  their training

  and their ministry among Catholics

  an often-overlooked duty that paralleled missionary deployments. Rex Galindo argues that Franciscan missionaries aimed to reform or \"reawaken\" Catholic parishioners just as much as they sought to convert non-Christian Indians.

  Book: To Sin No More: Franciscans and Conversion in the Hispanic World

  1683-1830

  As one of America’s most important missionaries

  Junípero Serra is widely recognized as the founding father of California’s missions. It was for that work that he was canonized in 2015 by Pope Francis. Less well known

  however

  is the degree to which Junípero Serra embodied the social

  religious and artistic currents that shaped Spain and Mexico across the 18th century. Further

  Serra’s reception in American culture in the 19th and 20th centuries has often been obscured by the controversies surrounding his treatment of California’s Indians. This volume situates Serra in the larger Spanish and Mexican contexts within which he lived

  learned

  and came of age. Offering a rare glimpse into Serra’s life

  these essays capture the full complexity of cultural trends and developments that paved the way for this powerful missionary to become not only California’s most polarizing historical figure but also North America’s first Spanish colonial saint.
