John Vincent of Jesus and Mary (born Juan Vicente Zengotita-Bengoa Lasuen; 19 July 1862 – 27 February 1943) was a Spanish Carmelite priest, declared as venerable by the Catholic church. He was born in Berriz, Basque country on 19 July 1862.[1] He entered the Order of Discalced Carmelites. He arrived in Bombay on 7 December 1900, and went to Goa to venerate the relics of St. Francis Xavier. He studied English and Malayalam. He also wrote a book about the local language. He served in the Verapoly Archdiocese in Kerala for 17 years.[2] Fr. John Vincent returned to Spain in 1917. He died in 1943. The cause of his beatification was opened on 20 November 1950.[3][4] John Paul II elevated him to the status of Venerable on January 12, 1996.[5]
