BACH Y TARGARONA, PEDRO. - Catalan Oratorian, b. 1 May 1796 at San Lorenzo de los Munts (Barcelona), d. at Vich on 6 Jan. 1866.
He did his higher studies at the University of Cervera and took his degree in theology at the University of Majorca (1819); he entered the Oratory of St. Philip Neri at Vich; but after its suppression (1835) he took refuge at Perpignan, then at Nice, and finally at Rome. Having returned to Vich in 1844, he re-established the Congregation of the Oratory, of which he became superior in 1854. He also founded the Institute of the Brothers of the Immaculate Conception, the college for poor students, and a home for sick priests.
He translated from Italian the Directório Místico para los Confesores of Fr. Bernardino da Castelveterre (Vich 1847), and composed in Catalan and Spanish the Mirall dorat de l'anima, ó sia instrucción practica per arreglar la vida vivrer santament, (s. l. s. d.).
