RESUMO
The present paper shows, both at the institutional and the individual level of every Jesuit, the trajectory of dialogue between the missionary project of the Society of Jesus, and the Brazilian context in the second half of the XVI century, a period in which order was here being implanted and structured in a way that would characterize it during the whole colonial period. At the institutional level (first part), this dialogue resulted in the gestion of an organizative structure that responded to all the aspects involved in the catechetical work, especially the orders from Rome, the Portuguese civilizing plan, and the missionary experiences that the Jesuits were making in the Brazilian context. This trajectory includes also the conceptions and believes that oriented the catechetical plan brought from Europe, as well as its reformulation departing from the results which the priests were obtaining in their concrete actuation, as well as the resignification of the concepts of mission and conversion, in order to give sense to the enterprises that the Society was making in new labor fronts, according to the local demands. At the individual level (second part), we show, through a brief biographical itinerary, the way in which each Jesuit developed, in the concrete situations in which he acted, the general mission of the Society, and how he discerned the application of the believes and orientations coming from Rome to the local context. In this part we include the description of the personnel that composed the Brazilian province (origin, formation, aptitudes, etc.), as well as the way how its administration was being made inside the Order
