Notes: There
is not an exact birth date for Padre Gonzalvo. He died at four in
the morning at the age of twenty-nine. He came to the New World from
Spain with Father Campos. He had been serving
at San Xavier del Bac but came to Father Campos'
house sick and died soon after. Father Campos recorded the following
at his burial: "On the Day of San Lorenzo, August 10, 1702, at four
in the morning, Padre Francisco Gonsalvo, died at the age of twenty-nine
having religiously received all the Holy Sacraments. He was a Valenciano
by nation and we came here together from Spain. Being the missionary
at San Francisco Xavier del Bac, he came here sick to my house and died
from a cold. He used good judgement until the very end, continuing
in acts of faith, hope, and charity and was very much in conformance with
the will of God, Our Lord. He is burried in this church on the Gospel
side of the Sanctuary."
