Full Text  At Verapoli, near Cochin, on the 2d of April, 1803, aged 58 years, the most Reverend Father in God, Don. Fre. Lewis Maria de Jesus, Bishop of Verapoli, apostolic vicar of Malibar, and of the order of Carmelites. Having early embraced a religious life, he was sent in 1771 on the mission to Malibar, of which he acquitted himself so well, as to be thought worthy (by the late Pope Pius VI.) of being elected a bishop. Empowered by a bull from the holy father, he was consecrated titulary bishop usulense, at Pondicherry, in September, 1785; and in January following he took possession at Verapoli of the apostolical vicarage of all Malibar, the duties of which he fulfilled in general satisfaction. His loss is sincerely regretted, not only by the Roman Catholic, but by the other inhabitants of the coast. His hospitality and urbanality of manners will long be remembered by the gentlemen who served in the province, several of whom have benefited by this worthy father's literary and local communications.
