Saint Francis Solano (also known as Francis Solanus) was born into a prominent Spanish family and was a popular student. He became a Franciscan priest who wanted to go to the African missions but was sent to South America instead. He was known to use music, specifically the violin, as a tool to evangelize the indigenous people in the areas of present-day Argentina, Paraguay, and Bolivia, where he learned local languages and used his musical talent to connect with them and spread the Christian faith. For 20 years he worked as a missionary. His whole life was a martyrdom of austere simplicity, prayer, and fasting. He’s called “the wonder worker of the New World.” He died uttering “Glory to God.”
