St. Miguel Cordero
 Miguel Cordero was born November 7, 1854, at Cuenca, Ecuador, of a prominent family. In 1863 he enrolled in a school run by the Christian Brothers, an Order which had only recently come to Ecuador. He joined the Brothers on 24 March 1868 at age 13. For 32 years he was a school teacher at El Cebollar School in Quito.
He was sent to Europe in 1905 to translate texts from French to Spanish for use by the Order. His health began to fail in 1908, and he was transferred to the school near Barcelona, Spain; he died there in 1910. In addition to being a religious role model, Miguel is considered a national hero in Ecuador.
His grave was disturbed during the Spanish Civil War, and his body was found incorrupt. He was re-interred in Quito, Ecuador; his tomb has become a pilgrimage site. He was beatified October 30, 1977, by Pope Paul VI. His Feast day is February 9.
