25 He governed only three years The best defence of the Order

(25) The eighth General was the Venerable Father Evangelist of Cannobio from the Province of Milan. In the Chapter assembled in Forli he was elected on the Feast of Pentecost on the 6th June 1565. He governed the Congregation for three years. He showed great zeal regarding buildings and always gave very good example.

During his time many personages and cities pestered the Congregation in order to have us take up the care of monasteries. Nonetheless he defended the Order quite well.

When he finished his term he assembled the Chapter in Rome and was not re-elected.
