'''Saint Peter Claver''' (June 26, 1580 – September 8, 1654) was a [[Saints|Christian saint]] and [[Religious order|Jesuit]] priest, renowned for his missionary work among enslaved Africans in [[Cartagena]], [[Colombia]]. Born in [[Verdú]], [[Spain]], he served under the [[Diocese of Cartagena]], dedicating his life to the spiritual and physical care of slaves. His tireless charity earned him the title “Apostle of the Africans.” Canonized in 1888 by Pope Leo XIII, his feast day on September 9 in the [[Roman Rite]] draws pilgrims to his relics in [[Cartagena, Colombia]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://catholicsaints.info/saint-peter-claver/|title=Saint Peter Claver|publisher=CatholicSaints.Info|access-date=June 2, 2025}}</ref> | |||
