"A fortunate congregation enjoyed the alms of a wealthy local patron or patroness. Pedro Menendez de Aviles set out for Florida with a full set of altar furnishings and eight large bells. His wife, dona Maria de Solis, Florida's first gobernadora, adorned the church at Santa Elena with a painted retable, a gilded cross, and an image of Santa Clara, patron saint of Aviles. Governor Mendez Canzo gave the parish church in St. Augustine a silver lamp, a silver chalice, and a large carved retable; Governor Quiroga donated the pillars, bases, and ornaments for two campanarios; and Governor Joseph de Zuniga bestowed a scarlet altarcloth and a chasuble on the shrine of Santa Barbara, patroness of artillerymen" (Mendez Canzo 1603; Quiroga y Losada 1697; Leturiondo 1707). (Bushnell SS)
