Rev. Charles Fromentin (1861-1940) was one of the French pioneers who brought the Oblates to America. He was the first provincial of the English-speaking province of the Oblates in America, in Wilmington, Delaware, and the first religious superior and principal of the Salesianum School, an Oblate high school that first opened in 1903. He was the first general councilor in Rome for the English-speaking province of the Oblates.
