◆ Fr John MacErlean Sj :
1726-1772 After his noviceship he taught the lower classes in St Paul’s College for twelve years.
After that he was engaged in domestic duties till his health broke down in 1758.
His whole life seems to have been passed in the Collegium Maximum of St. Paul at Lima, where he was living old and infirm in 1767, when the order of expulsion arrived from Spain.
In spite of his feeble state, he survived the hardships of the voyage, and arrived in Spain, where he was put ashore at Puerto de Santa Maria. He died there a few years later, on 20th December, 1772, in his eightieth year.
