Bernard Vaughan

His mother, Eliza Rolls from The Hendre, Monmouthshire, was a Catholic convert and intensely religious.

All five of the Vaughan daughters became nuns, while six of the eight sons received Holy orders and became priests.

Bernard Vaughan was educated by the Jesuits at Stonyhurst, and became a member of the Society of Jesus.

His uncle was also a Jesuit, Richard Vaughan, SJ, who went on to design Sacred Heart Church in Edinburgh.

He preached at Montreal in 1910, traveled in Canada, the United States, and Alaska, and lectured in China, Japan, Italy, and France.
