Catholic Christopher Columbus sailed from Catholic Spain in 1492 and soon after other Catholics from Spain led expeditions. Ponce de Leon founded Florida in 1513 and St. Augustine was settled in 1565, St. Augustine was founded on September 8, 1565, by Spanish admiral Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, Florida’s first governor. He named the settlement “San Agustín”, as his ships bearing settlers, troops, and supplies from Spain had first sighted land in Florida eleven days earlier on August 28, the feast day of St. Augustine.

The Jesuits paid more to fund Columbus than Queen Isabella did...
