Biography
Magin Catalá (known as Magí Català i Guasch in Catalan, his native language) (Montblanc, 1761 – Santa Clara, California, 1830)) was a Catholic missionary.
Català was born in Montblanc, Catalonia, Spain. In 1777 he joined the Franciscan Order in Barcelona, and was ordained in 1785. He arrived in the City of Mexico in 1786, and entered the missionary college of San Fernando there. For thirty-six years he labored with Father Jose Viader at the Santa Clara Indian mission. He became renowned for his miracles and prophecies. The figure of a crucifix in Mission Santa Clara de Asís is said to have leaned forward to commend him when preaching. The cause of his beatification was introduced in 1884.
Català died in Santa Clara, California, 1830.
