Education
Enric Heras de Sicars (later in India he anglicised his Christian name to Henry) was the heir of a well-off rural household from the village of Adri, near Girona, in Catalonia, Spain. His parents were Ponç IV Heras and Maria Sicars. The Heras family had been established in the property of Adri since the late thirteenth century, but Enric gave up his rights in order to follow his religious vocation. After becoming a Jesuit in 1904, Heras followed the usual course of Jesuit priestly formation: three years of philosophy in Tortosa, Catalonia, Spain, three years of teaching History in Orihuela, Alacant, Spain, and the theological course in Sarria, Barcelona, at the end of which he was ordained a Catholic priest in 1920.
