HARO, Alonso Nuñez de (ah'ro), Mexican
archbishop, born in Villagarcia, Spain, 31 October, 1729; died in Mexico, 26
May, 1800. He studied philosophy and theology with the Dominicans of Peter
Martyr, at the Royal University, and at the College of San Clemente de Espanoles
at Bologna, where he was subsequently appointed rector and professor of sacred
literature.
He was nominated archbishop of Mexico by Clement XIV,
and became celebrated for his eloquence. He founded numerous charitable and
educational institutions, the principal of which was the College of Tepotzotlán.
Here, among other professorships, he established one of the Mexican Language. He
endowed the college liberally, and bestowed on it an extensive and well-chosen
library.
He was at one time visited by his former schoolmate
Father William O'Brien, pastor of St. Peter's Church, New York, and raised
$5,920 for his church. He also gave Father O'Brien several paintings for St.
Peter's, among others a "Crucifixion" by Vallejo, a Mexican painter.
Archbishop Haro ordered the words "Here lies Alonso, the
sinner, dust and nothingness," to be engraved on his tomb.
