John Macias

John Macías, OP (2 March 1585 – September 16, 1645), was a Spanish-born Dominican friar who evangelized in Peru in 1620. He was canonized in 1975 by Pope Paul VI. His image is located at the main altar of the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary of Lima and is venerated by the local laity in Peru. A church was built in his honor in 1970 in San Luis, Lima.
