Dear Primos and Friends:

I am sure you all enjoyed the excitement of viewing the activities of Pope Francis in the United States. Pope Francis canonization of Father Junipero Serra, a 1700's Spanish missionary, was a public statement of the Spanish in the colonization and settlement of the United States.

It is appropriate to point out that Christianity was brought to these shores by Spanish Catholics in 1492, by Christopher Columbus, not the pilgrims who came over a hundred years later in 1620.

There is an argument that artifacts have been found which indicate other countries predating Columbus, such as Chinese, Celtics, and even some Christian crusaders, etc. in reaching the United States.
However, those visitors did not leave any evidence of a colonizing and permanent presence.

Whereas the oldest continually occupied city in the United States is St.
Augustine, which recently celebrated its 450 year old Spanish heritage.
There is historic evidence, that Spanish explorer Pedro Menendez founded St. Augustine in 1565. Do read about the celebration under the EAST COAST section.

Thanks to the contributions of Dr. C.A. Campos y Escalante, Marcel Gomes Balla and Jose Antonio Crespo-Frances, this issue is full of articles, essays, lists, etc. expanding the footprints of the Spanish explorers throughout the world.

Our task should go beyond defending Christopher Columbus and Father Junipero Serra, to the realization that our ancestors were remarkable.
They successfully mixed their blood all over the world. Primos, our Spanish antepasados should be honored and admired, for the important role they played in spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ all over the world.

God bless America, Mimi
