Here in the new world, I believe the country that sent the most priest over here to teach the native Americans the faith was Spain. There are currently, five Georgia martyrs being considered for canonization (declared Saints) by Rome, all five of them were Spanish friars. Spanish priests taught the faith to all the countries in South America save Brazil, those priests were from Portugal. Canada's priests were from France.
