Regarding The Parish of Saint Philip of Jesus. Saint Philip of Jesus was a Franciscan martyr in Japan. A Spaniard born in Mexico City, he entered the Franciscan Order at Puebla but then departed in 1589 to journey to the Philippines as a trader. In 1590, he repented and returned to the Franciscan fold. His superiors commanded him to sail back to Mexico to be ordained as a priest and, while on the way, his ship was caught in a storm and driven into the waters of Japan. Landing in 1596, he was soon arrested and, with St. Peter the Baptist and 24 others, was put to death by crucifixion at Nagasaki. He was canonized in 1862. www.catholic.org
