ALLARD, JEAN-FRANÇOIS-MARIE. - Missionary Oblate of Mary Immaculate, first vicar apostolic of Natal, b. 27 Nov. 1806 at La Roche (France), d. in Rome on 26 Sept. 1886. Already a priest since 1830, he entered the Congregation of the Oblates in 1837; he departed for Canada in 1843. In 1851 he was appointed bishop of Samaria and vicar apostolic of Natal. He organized the work for white Catholics and the apostolate for the blacks, founding for the latter the stations of Rome, St. Monica and St. Michael. Twenty years later, in 1873, his vicariate - with only 8 fathers and 5 brothers - counted more than 3000 Catholics, among them 1000 Basuto. Having retired for health reasons, he spent his last years in Rome.
