VICUNA, Manuel (ve-coon'-yah), Chilian archbishop, born in Santiago, Chili, in 1778; died in Valparaiso in 1843. After-acquiring his primary education, he entered the College of San Carlo., and in a short time was graduated in theology. Soon afterward he entered the church, and, being ordained priest, travelled through the country as a missionary with other young ecclesiastics. After the battle of Maypu he visited the hospitals and personally assisted the wounded and dying. Having inherited a fortune, he employed a part of it in the construction of a house of retirement. In 1825 the bishop of Santiago, Jose Santiago Rodriguez, was exiled, and in 1830 Pope Leo XII. promoted Vicuria to the bishopric, in which office he labored for the re-establishment of the theological seminary. When Santiago was declared a metropolitan see, the government presented Vicuria as the first archbishop, and in June, 1840, Pope Gregory XVI. confirmed him. Afterward he was elected to congress and was a member of the council of state.
