Francis Xavier was born in Navarre in 1506 and in Paris he met Ignatius of Loyola, with whom he shared the adventure of founding the Society of Jesus. In 1540 he was sent to the East as a missionary: while planning to bring the Gospel to China, he died of pneumonia on Shangchuan Island in 1552. Paul V beatified Xavier on October 21, 1619 and Gregory XV canonized him on March 12, 1622.
