John Hutchinson (bishop)

[1] Father Hutchinson served for some years in the Augustinian Mission of St Monica, in Hoxton in the East End of London.

At the provincial chapter of his order held in Dublin in 1883, Father Hutchinson was unanimously elected Prior-Provincial of the Irish Augustinian Province.

On 28 August 1887 Hutchinson was consecrated as Bishop by Cardinal Patrick Moran in St Mary's Cathedral in Sydney.

In June 1897 he undertook a 2,600-mile (4,200 km) journey travelling with the Redemptorist Fathers' Mission,[6][7] which caused the "utter collapse" of his health.

[9] Other requiem mass ceremonies also held in St Stephen's Cathedral in Brisbane and also in Rockhampton.
