Italian Priests who did not stay in Brisbane

Historian, Patrick O’Farrell, writes:
As to James Quinn’s 1870 recruitment, he had to settle for European priests from France, Italy and Germany. They were something of a mixed bag, especially the sixteen Italians, some being what Murray called ‘desperate vagabonds’, others being interested in what money they could make, many affronted by the contrast between the rough demands of the colonial church and the way of life they were used to in Italy. They gave Quinn trouble enough. By 1872 a dozen of them were claiming that they were starving in the Brisbane diocese, and regaling Rome with highly uncomplimentary accounts of Quinn and all his works.(1) [...]

Fr Lucido Cervini

Fr Cervini arrived in Brisbane, aboard the Storm King, on 28 February 1871. He came to escape military conscription, to the concern of his family. Bishop Quinn gave him his return fare, less than a year after his arrival.(2) Pugh’s Almanac does not list him as appointed to any mission in the diocese.
