Abstract: This Latin report, sent in connection with the Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith, summarizes the first two years of Jesuit work in the Marianas. It records baptism totals, the church at Agadña, missionary travel across multiple islands, and a 1670 addition noting the martyrdom of Fr. Luis de Medina. It is a key statistical and institutional statement of the mission’s early progress and ambitions.
