Augustine Hu Daguo
Augustine Hu Daguo (15 May 1921 – 17 February 2011) was the underground Roman Catholic bishop (as such, he was then considered a part of the Vatican-recognized hierarchy in China approved by and in communion with the Pope) of the Apostolic Prefecture of Shiqian, Shiqian (Shihtsien), Guizhou, China. The Apostolic Prefecture of Shiqian is a suffragan see in the Province of the Archdiocese of Guiyang.
Biography
Augustine Hu Daguo was born on 15 May 1921 to a family of long Christian tradition in Tongzhou,
theological seminary of Chengdu, in the province of Sichuan. Four years later he was removed from his position, and returned to Guizhou Province, where he was appointed pastor of Duyun, Dushan, Fuquan, Tuanbo, and Wen'an. Hu was secretly ordained a bishop in 1987 by Bishop Peter Joseph Fan Xueyan, the bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Baoding; the Vatican later approved the ordination. In 1999, at the age of almost 80, Bishop Hu sustained a leg injury from which he never really fully recovered.[1]
