With the main goal of evangelizing the indigenous in the new Brazilian lands, the Ignatian Order mustered up several conversion strategies, building settlements, colleges and seminaries. Through various letters between the center (Rome) and the peripheries of missionary work, the Order sought to also ensure their survival as their religious project.
