of thirty-six villages in Mindanao and dependent islands; in 1852,
they had charge of eighteen, and were showing rapid increase when
they were ordered to transfer them to the Jesuits. The martyrs and

Madre de Dios, killed 1723; Brother Juan de San Nicolas, martyred;
Jacinto de Jesus y Maria, martyred; Alonso de San Jose, killed 1631;

Marianas Islands
[These islands were in charge of the Jesuits, but after the expulsion
of the Society were given to the Recollects, who had them in charge
during 1768-1814, when they abandoned them because of their few
laborers. The Recollects reassumed that field in 1819, and in 1879
had there seven priests.]
