Catholic Missions In Georgia Before 1620 & Plymouth Rock Settlement
MHFM: Besides the settlement and missions in Florida, Catholic missions in what is now Georgia were active and successful before the Protestant pilgrims established their settlement at Plymouth Rock in 1620.
“The Guale territory [Georgia] was reoccupied by the Friars in 1606. In one year, more than a thousand adults received baptism… The missions began to prosper. In 1612, La Florida together with Cuba was erected into a Franciscan Province. Large numbers of friars, often twenty or thirty at a time, now entered these fields. Five missions were established in Georgia, two in South Carolina.” (Mathias C. Kiemen, Colonial Indian missions: the record of Catholic missioners to the American Indians, 1521-1848, 1946, p. 15)
