Jean-Baptiste Surian (20 September 1670, Saint-Chamas – 3 August 1754) was a French Oratorian and preacher who became bishop of Vence.
Noel Aubert de Versé (c. 1642/5, Le Mans – 1714) was a French advocate of religious toleration, whose own religious position oscillated between Unitarian Protestantism and an Oratorian-influenced Catholicism.
However, right back into the time of Blessed Joseph Vaz and his Oratorian disciples and still earlier in Portuguese times (mid 16th Century) stations in its coastal fringe as well as in its Ratnapura reaches are on record for Evangelization and advanced pastoral structure.
