Born in Spain and adopting Brazilian Citizenship,  Father González Quevedo is a Jesuit Priest.

He has dedicated almost all his life to study, conduct research and disseminate information in the field of parapsychology: Science that deals with “mysterious” phenomena, inexplicable at first glance but related to humankind.


He belongs to a numerous and deeply catholic family, with uncles and cousins ordained priests and a sister and a first cousin, nuns. His first cousin, Teresita González Quevedo, Sister of Carmel, is in her way to become a Blessed (a step before becoming a Saint) in the Catholic Church.

When Father González Quevedo was a child, an English uncle, was trying to influence him with Allan Kardec´s literature. As he was very curious and liked to read, he began to study those “amazing phenomena”, resulting in all sorts of questions and a powerful drive to study more. Several years later, conversations with the nephew, changed his uncle’s beliefs in Spiritism.

Early in his life, he discovered his vocation to become a priest, while attending a Jesuit Secondary School in Vigo, Spain.

Well equipped with a solid academic background he was ordained priest in 1961. His Superior sent him to Brazil, a fertile field to research areas of superstitions, religious sects and parapsychological phenomena. It is obvious that his background did not lacked knowledge of illusionism and magic. This was necessary to uncover all sorts of misconceptions and frauds.

He is the Founder and Director of the Latin American Center of Parapsychology, located in San Pablo, Brazil, where he works on a daily basis, except while traveling domestically or throughout the world, teaching and conducting all sort of conferences and work-shops on parapsychology.

Father González Quevedo reads, Latin, Greek, Hebrew, English, French and Italian, besides being fluent in Spanish and Portuguese.
