CATALDINO, GIUSEPPE - One of the founders of the missions of Paraguay. Born in Fabriano (Ancona) in April 1574, died in San Ignacio Miní on July 10, 1653. He was already a priest when he entered (1601) the Society of Jesus. He departed, still a novice, with Fr. Diego de Torres for America. In 1605 or 1606 he was sent from Peru to Paraguay, where shortly afterward a new province of the Order was established. In 1609 he was designated, together with Fr. Simone Massetta, himself also Italian, to found new reductions in Guayrá, where he remained for many years as superior. In 1633 he founded the reduction of St. Joseph near the Sierra del Tapé. He was also, after Fr. Marcel de Lorenzana, superior of all the missions of Paraguay.
