Colombian Priests

I saw the headline,"2 Colombian priests killed in separate incidents" in the Catholic World News and it got me thinking about who the Patron Saint of Colombia might be. One is St. Peter Claver, who was born in Spain. Another is St. Louis Bertrand...also born in Spain. No native born Catholic saints.

Interesting.

Trivia - Peter Claver (Patron Saint of Slaves as well) lived and died in what is now Colombia, but was called New Spain when he was there! It was more specifically called the New Kingdom of Granada.
