Roger William Bede Vaughan O.S.B. was an English Benedictine monk of Downside Abbey and the second Roman Catholic Archbishop of Sydney, Australia, from 1877 to 1883.
"Vaughan was an eloquent preacher and lecturer, and acquired a high literary reputation by his elaborate work."
"He was indefatigable in spite of the strain on a constitution never strong. He proved a capable administrator, fighting energetically for Catholic interests, especially those of primary education, which he provided for by the foundation of Catholic schools. He also took great interest in the completion of his cathedral which he lived to open. He was a man of great holiness, and so far as possible continued even when archbishop to lead the life of a simple monk."
