College of Guadalupe de Zacatecas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The College of Guadalupe de Zacatecas was a Roman Catholic missionary college, or seminary (Colegio Apostolico) founded in Guadalupe, Zacatecas (Mexico) by the Order of Friars Minor between 1703-1707. The institution was established to provide specific training for priests who were to labor among the indigenous populations in New Spain. Of the thirty-eight Spanish missions in Texas (including the one in Louisiana) and the six visitas (country chapels) on the lower Rio Grande River, nine missions and all six visitas were staffed by the College of Zacatecas.
