FRANCIS OF PAMPLONA. - Called "the Spanish Capuchin," a singular figure of a man of arms and a Capuchin lay brother, in the world Tiburcio de Redin, b. at Pamplona on 11 Aug. 1597, d. at La Guayra (Venezuela) on 31 Aug. 1651.
Of a noble family, he was by ability and valor a great admiral and army general; in 1637 he was converted to the penitential life of the Capuchins and promoted the missionary movement through his influence and example. Through his good offices with Philip IV, the expedition of Fr. Bonaventura da Alessano, to which he attached himself, founded the first mission in the Congo in 1645. Returning to Europe, in 1646 he solicited aid and support for the missions in London, Rome and Madrid. He collaborated in 1647-48 in the establishment of the Capuchin mission in the Darién region (Colombia-Panama); in 1650 he carried out missionary activity in the Cumaná region (Venezuela). After his death on the return journey, the fame of his life, which had become almost legendary, and of his virtues kept his tomb in veneration for a long time.
