Juan de los Reyes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Juan de los Reyes (c1652 – 1676) was among the protomartyrs of Guam. He was the next Pampango victim together Padre Sebastian de Monroy, SJ and one Spanish and five Mexican soldiers. On Sunday, September 6, 1676, as the missionary team was about to embark on a boat from the village of Sumay to the center in Agana, Guam, they were slain with a hail of stones, clubs and spears by the natives they had tried to covert to their faith.
