Biography

Cabrero served for some time as a missionary in the New Kingdom of Granada. In a 1660 report, he described a man who refused to repent of "living in sin" being eaten by a caiman. [1]

From 1661 to 1664, Cabrero was assigned as visitor general in New Spain. [2] [3] In consultation with the provincial superior, Pedro Antonio Díaz, he finalized a new code for the Jesuit missions in New Spain on September 20, 1662. [2]

In 1676, Cabrero approved the foundation of the Jesuit Missions of Moxos. [4]
