  • "I Do Not Know How to Fulfill Those Demands": Rethinking Jesuit
    “I Do Not Know How to Fulfill Those Demands”: Rethinking Jesuit Missionary Efforts in La Florida, 1566-1572 by Saber Gray A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Liberal Arts Department of Florida Studies College of Arts and Sciences University of South Florida St. Petersburg Major Professor: J. Michael Francis, Ph.D. Raymond Arsenault, Ph.D. Erica Heinsen-Roach, Ph.D. Date of Approval: June 30, 2014 Keywords: Society of Jesus, education, colleges, evangelization, Cuba Copyright © 2014, Saber Gray ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Many generous people have made this work possible. Dr. J. Michael Francis, my advisor since 2007, gently nudged me into researching the Florida Jesuits and secured digital copies of Jesuit correspondence from the Archivum Romanum Societatis Iesu in Rome. His guidance has been, and continues to be, invaluable. My committee members, Dr. Raymond Arsenault and Dr. Erica Heinsen-Roach, had infinite patience. Thank you so much. All three professors gave me the insight and confidence to push my thesis further than I would have on my own. William and Hazel Hough generously provided for two summer research trips to the Archivo General de Indias in Seville, Spain. Lastly, thank you to everyone, especially graduate students at USFSP, who have listened to me babble about Jesuits for so long. i TABLE OF CONTENTS List of Figures ..................................................................................................................... ii Abstract .............................................................................................................................
