There was another year of waiting, then seven more sandaled friars reached San Agustin. Early in 1606 part of them were escorted north up the Inland Passage. The destroyed churches had already been rebuilt, and the friars were welcomed with ceremony. Once more the Georgia forests echoed the peaceful tones of the Angelus bell. Father Juan de Capillas took charge at San Pedro; Pedro Delgado at Talaje and Espogache; Pedro Ruiz at Santa Catalina. What these Brown Robes had accomplished by summer is revealed in the report by the bishop of Cuba, who then made the first pastoral visit ever accomplished on United States soil. At the four Georgia missions he confirmed 1070 neophytes. Guale had come back to the Christian fold.1
