Louis-Charles-Auguste Hébert (French pronunciation: [lwi ʃaʁl oɡyst ebɛʁ]; 31 December 1763 – 3 October 1836) was a missionary of Paris Foreign Missions Society and was the Vicar Apostolic of Madurai and Coromandel Coast from 8 July 1836 until his death on 3 October 1836.
[2] Having left Pondicherry on 5 February on his bullock-cart, he was back on 4 April, covering almost 1000 km for his consecration.
[1] Because of the French Revolution and subsequently the Napoleonic wars, the Malabar mission was in a very critical situation.
He even has to melt the sacred vessels and sell them to make some money to help the victims of the famine.
Hebert obtained from Rome the title of Vicar Apostolic but died on 3 October 1836 before the Brief reached him.
