ALLYS, EUGÈNE-MARIE-JOSEPH. - Vicar apostolic of Hué (Annam). Born on 12 February 1852 at Paimpoint (Rennes), and having entered the Paris Foreign Missions in 1875, he departed for northern Cochinchina at the end of the same year. He had a turbulent apostolate because of frequent persecutions (1883, 1885, 1898, 1899, 1900). Elected vicar apostolic in 1908, he worked with intelligent zeal for the prosperity of the mission, founding two native congregations, encouraging the creation of a Cistercian monastery, and establishing a secondary school. He held the highest French and Annamese honors. Having become blind, he left his office in 1931, and died at Hué on 22 April 1936.
