Rev. Matthew Carr, O.S.A.

This photograph was taken from a fine pastel, apparently unsigned, of late eighteenth century origin of Reverend Matthew Carr, O.S.A., S.T.B. Father Carr was founder of the Augustinian Province in the United States in 1796, first pastor of Saint Augustine's Church in Philadelphia from 1796 to 1820, and first Commissary General from 1796 to 1820.
