From THE FIRST WAVE OF FRENCH MARISTS by Michael O'Meeghan SM, 2008, 12.


Br MARIE-AUGUSTIN (Joseph) DREVET, aged 30 (on arrival in New Zealand).


Though he had been teaching in France he proved a competent builder first at Kororareka, then in the Hokianga, then at Kororareka again. On 4 October, 1842 he left there for Wallis on the Sancta Maria which was on its way to Valparaiso to be sold. After seven years on Wallis he moved on to Futuna for a year and then on to Fiji. In June 1855 at Levuka, he left the Marists who have no further record of him.
