Biography

Blessed Francisco Gárate Aranguren, also known as Brother Kindness, was born on 3 February 1857 in Azpeitia, Guipúzcoa, Spain. He was the second of seven boys born to Francisco and Maria Aranguren, a devoutly religious farm family in the Basque region of northern Spain. It is worth noting that three of Francisco's brothers also grew up to become Jesuit brothers.
