Bl. Joseph Vaz tercentenary


Blessed Joseph Vaz

Today is the tercentenary of the death of Bl. Joseph Vaz, the Goan Oratorian known as the apostle of Ceylon/Sri Lanka. His ministry in the island was not unlike that of mission priests in sixteenth and seventeenth century England. He was beatified in 1995.

There is an article about him on the Oxford Oratory website what can be read here, and there is Wikipedia article about him here. CTS have a good booklet about his life and ministry.

There is a website about his life and cause for canonization, which can be read here.
