Peter French (died 1693)[1] was an Irish theologian. Originally from Galway, French joined the Dominican Order in the south of Spain. He spent thirty years as a missionary friar among the Indians in Mexico. His book, A Catechism or Exposition of the Christian Faith was written in the "Mexican language", but it is uncertain if it was ever printed.[1] He returned to Ireland and died in Galway in 1693.[1]
