Fr David Strong SJ, The Australian dictionary of Jesuit biography 1848-2015, Second Edition, 2017:
Pallhuber, Johannes Evangelist
Teacher, missionary, pastor; born Antholz (Tyrol), Austria, 30 December 1822; died Jamestown, South Australia, 2 June 1890, aged 67.
John Pallhuber was educated first at Brixen Gymnasium, 1836-40, and then at the Jesuit Gymnasium, Innsbruck, 1940-42. He entered the Society at Graz, Austria, 15 August 1842, completed his juniorate there, and philosophy at Linz, 1845-47. He spent one year of theology at Vals, and, before leaving for the USA, was ordained with special permission by the bishop of Avignon. He worked among the German migrants in the Maryland province, and completed his theology at Georgetown University, 1849-55.
He arrived in Adelaide, Australia, from New York, 14 January 1856. He first helped the bishop of Adelaide before going to Sevenhill on 22 January. When a boarding school, St Aloysius' College, Sevenhill, opened in August, Pallhuber was made prefect of studies. He also ministered to the people of Sevenhill and Clare.
About 1859 he began missionary excursions to Wallaroo, Kadina, and Moonta. In 1861 they extended Blinman, Bundaleer, Melrose, Port Augusta, Port Ferguson and other places. While he was away from the college, the senior students tutored the junior boys. He, himself, taught Latin, Greek, geography, history, mathematics and music.
From 1874 he seemed to be largely involved in missionary activity in northern regions of South Australia, residing at Georgetown. From 1885-90 he was in charge of Jamestown, and died suddenly. He was a most accomplished Jesuit, and involved himself in tireless work all his priestly life.
