Blessed Petrus Rinsei

Blessed Petrus Rinsei, also known as Peter Rinsei, was a Jesuit priest and martyr who lived in Japan during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Born in Hachirao, Nagasaki, Japan, around 1588, little is known about his early life and upbringing. However, his strong devotion to his faith led him to join the Society of Jesus, commonly known as the Jesuits, a religious order within the Catholic Church.
