Fray Luis Jerónimo de Oré y Rojas (Huamanga, Perú, 1554 - Concepción, 1630) was a creole Franciscan priest who was born during the early years of the Viceroyalty of Peru.
The early life of Luis Jerónimo took place between that city and the town of Canaria, a workplace that his father founded, and where he came into contact with speakers of Quechua and Aymara.
His years in the Andes overlapped with the Taki Unquy, which began in southern Huamanga, between 1565-1566, and with its eradication, which suggests that he lived in an environment of intense campaigns of evangelism and profound religious feeling throughout the region.
His five daughters were also inclined to the religious life, and Antonio de Oré managed to find the means to found the convent of Santa Clara, the first in Huamanga and the second in the Viceroyalty of Perú.
During his time in Europe, Oré he recruited priests for the spiritual "conquest" of Florida, since he had been named commissioner of that Franciscan province, to which he would make various trips.
