Geronimo Valdes y Sierra

VALDES y SIERRA, Geronimo, Cuban R. C. bishop, born in Gijon, Spain, in 1646; died in Havana in 1729. After finishing his theological studies and receiving sacred orders, he was a professor in the University of Aleala until 1706, when he was appointed bishop of Cuba. He founded in Havana in 1710 the San Isidro hospital, and in 1711 an asylum for foundlings, and caused to be constructed the monastery of Santa Teresa. In 1722 he established in Santiago de Cuba a college and seminary which was at first devoted only to theological students, but afterward it was opened also to lay instruction. He also founded several churches in other cities and spent a great deal of his income in public charities.
