Blessed José de Anchieta (†1597) was a Spanish Jesuit priest, missionary, and scholar known as the "Apostle of Brazil." Joining the Jesuits in 1551, he arrived in Brazil in 1553, dedicating his life to evangelizing indigenous peoples. He co-founded São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, using education, theater, and music to spread Christianity. Fluent in Tupi, he wrote the first grammar of the language and composed poetry and plays. Despite frail health, his tireless mission work left a lasting legacy. He was beatified by Pope John Paul II in 1980, and his feast day is celebrated on June 9.
