Abstract: This document describes and partially translates the 1669 Mexico imprint of San Vitores's memorial to the Sodality of St. Francis Xavier, including its fundraising purpose, appended texts, and introductory materials. It also documents the Sodality's patronage, donations, and devotional support for the Mariana mission, showing how print culture and lay religious networks in New Spain sustained the early evangelization of Guam and the Marianas.
