St. Francis Xavier arrived on the west Coast of Goa on May 6, 1542. Then began a glorious decade of untold millions of conversions from Hinduism to Christianity. Signs and wonders followed St. Francis Xavier's preaching, and he baptized and catechized millions from Goa to Tamil Nadu in India.

==St. Francis' testimony of Indians==
St. Francis Xavier favorably testified about the people of India and their openness to the Gospel. He appealed in touching tones for more missionaries to come from Europe, telling them to be less worried about acquiring degrees, but more concerned about saving souls and pleasing God by laboring to make disciples and baptize them as commanded by the Lord: "If only someone could educate them in the Christian way of life, I have no doubt that they would make excellent Christians. Many, many people hereabouts are not becoming Christians for one reason only: there is nobody to make them Christians. Again and again I have thought of going round the universities of Europe, especially Paris, and everywhere crying out like a madman, riveting the attention of those with more learning than charity: “What a tragedy: how many souls are being shut out of heaven and falling into hell, thanks to you!”<ref>https://catholicismpure.wordpress.com/2014/12/03/a-letter-from-st-francis-xavier-to-st-ignatius/</ref>
