Fr. Augustin Aubry d. 1919
Sydney
First Provincial of Oceania Province
He was born in Meuse, France in 1847. He was professed in the Society in 1872. His first appointment after ordination was to St Mary's College, Dundalk in Ireland in 1875 where he remained until 1880. In 1881, he joined the novitiate staff at Paignton. In 1886, Fr. Aubry became Vicar Provincial for England and Ireland and lived at St Anne's, London. In late 1889, he transferred to New Zealand where he joined the staff at Christchurch Cathedral. In 1892 he was appointed Visitor General for the Oceanian missions, transferring to Villa Maria in Hunters Hill, Sydney. In 1893 be travelled to Lyons for the General Chapter of the Society. At that Chapter he asked that the Society erect a Province of the Mission territories so that the missionaries would have proper representation at future Chapters. This same Chapter requested him to oversee the expansion of the Society in Australia itself. In October 1898, the Province of Oceania was formally erected and Fr Aubry was appointed its first Provincial. However, when he attended the General Chapter of late 1900 he was appointed a General Assistant with special responsibility for Oceania. He was to hold this post for many years. The first Provincial of Oceania died at the age of 72.
