San Pedro Claver
In brief
The Archdiocese of Morelia honors Saint Peter Claver on September 9.
Born in 1580 to a family of modest farmers in Verdú, Claver studied arts and philosophy at the University of Barcelona. His life changed when he joined the Society of Jesus. While studying in Mallorca, he met Alfonso Rodríguez, a humble porter who recognized Claver's future path.
