A Franciscan Friar who encouraged Queen Isabella to send Columbus West without
further delay (1491) searching for a route to India. Fr Perez blessed and gave holy communion to Columbus and the crew of the two Caravels , ‘Nina’ and ‘Pinta’ and the Cargo ship (Carrack), ‘Santa Maria de la Conception’ – before leaving . He would accompany Columbus on his second trip, bringing the authority of celebrating the first Mass on the shores of America at Point Conception (Haiti).
