  • ADB online 24 Aug. 2014 (Catalan, Anselm Mary (1878<U+2013>1959): Benedictine abbot, born on 16 November 1878 at Corella, Navarra, Spain, joined the Benedictines in 1894 and was ordained priest in 1902. At St Bede's College, Manila, he served as professor (1903-05) and rector (1909-15); he was also procurator of the Benedictine missions in the Philippines. In 1915 he was elected superior of the monastery at New Norcia, Western Australiaand was made an ordinary of this abbey nullius, having quasi-episcopal responsibilities for New Norcia's contingent diocese. He completed the transformation of New Norcia from an Aboriginal mission--ioneered by Abbot Salvado--to a monastic township, and established churches, convents and schools. After eight years retirement at the abbey, he died on 29 July 1959 at St John of God Hospital, Subiaco, W.A.)
