This essay deals with the missionary work of the Society of Jesus
in today's Micronesia from the seventeenth to the twentieth
century. Although the Jesuit missionaries wanted to reach Japan and
other Pacific islands, such as the Palau and Caroline archipelagos,
the crown encouraged them to stay in the Marianas until 1769 (when
the Society of Jesus was expelled from the Philippines) to
evangelize the native Chamorros as well as to reinforce the Spanish
presence on the fringes of the Pacific empire. In 1859, a group of
Jesuit missionaries returned to the Philippines, but they never
officially set foot on the Marianas during the nineteenth century.
It was not until the twentieth century that they went back to
Micronesia, taking charge of the mission on the Northern Marianas
along with the Caroline and Marshall Islands, thus returning to one
of the cradles of Jesuit martyrdom in Oceania.
