Michel Trigault

 * Establishes the connection between 金弥格 and Michel Trigault. No Chinese sources ever use Michel Trigault. Maybe the connection is lost in translation?

 * Documents the death of Michel Trigault. Quote: "During the confinement two missionaries died, Inácio da Costa, SJ on May 11, 1666 and Michel Trigault, SJ in September of 1667. For an analysis of the nationalities, ages, education, and experience on the mission of those missionaries arrested in Guangzhou, including graphics, see Esquivel, El confinamiento de los misioneros, 230–244."

 * A personal outreach to Anthony E. Clark proved to be fruitful. Quote: "Michel Trigault entered Taiyuan in 1633 and managed the budding mission there until 1665, quite alone and overworked. The Church of the East, from Persia (the so-called Nestorians), had taught its version of Christianity in Shanxi as early as the eighth century, but record of the “Luminous Religion,” as it was called in China, had faded from historical memory. When Michel Trigault entered Shanxi, his Christian religion was unknown to the deeply conservative denizens of Taiyuan, and following Matteo Ricci’s example he adapted his teachings to those of Confucius and ingratiated himself with the local literati. He baptized two hundred new faithful soon after establishing a modest Roman Catholic chapel in Taiyuan."

Catholic establishments in Zunyi
According to Adrien Launay's History of the Chinese Missions, Catholicism likely first entered Zunyi in 1769, when the missionary Georges Alarys came to the city François Pottier, Apostolic Vicar of Sichuan, entrusted Alarys with missions in Eastern Sichuan and Guizhou. In 1774 the French priest Jean-Martin Moye entered Guizhou. Later when Moye worked in Sichuan, he sent two Christians to mission stations around Zunyi. Around 1798, on their way to Guiyang, two Chinese Catholics Laurent Hou and Paule Lo stopped at Zunyi and attempted to establish a girls' school. According to records compiled by Louis Gabriel Taurin Dufresse, Apostolic Vicar of Sichuan, at the end of the 18th century, Zunyi had 140 Catholic Christians in total. In a letter to a seminary director in 1804, Dufresse praised Zunyi's Christian community for being "numerous" and "fervent".

Catholics in Zunyi encountered an anti-Christian riot in 1805. In 1812 some Christians were arrested in Guizhou. They were transferred to Guiyang but sent to Zunyi. Among the arrested was the catechist Pierre Ou, who was executed in Zunyi in 1814. Christian population in Zunyi reduced to around three families by 1853, when the French priest Simon-Jude-Alphonse Mihières rent a local house to serve as an oratory, which was soon closed by local officials. In 1856 the local government arrested a group of Catholics praying in a private residence.

Church in Zunyi
In 1866, the Apostolic Vicar of Guizhou Louis-Simon Faurie divided his ecclesiastical province into two vicariates, with Zunyi being the seat of the northern one. By the end of 1867, Zunyi had five groups of Christians. In the same year, Mihières purchased lands and houses for a location to host worship. In 1869 there was an anti-Christian riot in Zunyi. The church and the priests' house were looted, and 25 to 30 Christians were killed.

In 1874, the French priest Eugène-Charles Bouchard began the construction of a church.
