Charles Warren Currier was born on March 22, 1857 on the island of St. Thomas, West Indies. He was the son of Warren Green, a native of New York City, and Deborah (Heyliger) Currier.
On the island of St. Thomas, West Indies Charles received his early education. When fourteen years old he was taken to the Netherlands where, during the next ten years, he made his classical, philosophical, and theological studies in colleges of the province of Limburg and received the doctorate in philosophy and theology.
In 1881, on his ordination at Amsterdam to the Catholic priesthood, he accompanied the Vicar Apostolic as missionary to Surinam, Dutch Guiana. But his labors there lasted less than two years, owing to failing health, and in 1882 he was transferred to the United States.
Then, for more than a decade, he was identified with the order of Redemptorists, preaching on missions and retreats chiefly in the vicinity of Annapolis and Boston.
On his release from his obligations to the Redemptorists, he became attached to the diocese of Baltimore in 1894, where he served first as a curate in a small Charles County parish and afterward as diocesan missionary, until 1900 when he became pastor of St. Mary’s, Washington, D. C. There he remained until 1907 when he joined the Bureau of Catholic Indian Missions, traveling extensively and lecturing and preaching with much success—for he was an interesting and facile speaker and preacher—for the benefit of Catholic education among the American Indians.
In 1910 he was designated bishop of Zamboanga, Philippine Islands, but, as the nomination was conditional, he declined the appointment. Instead, he accepted that made three years later by Pius X to the bishopric of Matanzas, Cuba; and with Cardinal Falconio presiding he was consecrated at Rome, July 6, 1913. But in less than two years, owing to ill health, he was compelled to resign the administration of his Episcopal See and became titular bishop of Hetalonia.
Early in 1915 he returned to the archdiocese of Baltimore where he con tinued to reside until his death which occurred suddenly while on his way from Waldorf in southern Maryland to Baltimore.
He began a History of Spanish Literature of which several chapters were published, and in the same field he wrote a number of criticisms of the work of several Spanish and Spanish-American writers.
He was the author of several works and his style was clear and wholly unaffected.
His impressions and records of a tour of South America were published under the title of Lands of the Southern Cross (1911). He also contributed many articles to the Catholic World and the American Catholic Quarterly Review.
Charles Warren Currier was the first bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Matanzas. Because of his wide learning and specialized studies, Bishop Currier was regarded as one of the foremost Hispanists and authorities on early American history in the United States. He was chosen to represent this country as a delegate to the International Congress of Americanists held in various years in European centers, and in 1910, during the administration of President Taft, he was commissioned by the State Department United States delegate to a similar congress held at Buenos Aires, on the occasion of the one hundredth anniversary of Argentine independence.

He collaborated on the Bulletin of the Pan-American Union. He was an enthusiastic promoter of Pan-Americanism and was constantly active in contributing to a better understanding between the countries of the Americas. As a means to this end he furthered the establishment in Washington of the Spanish-Amcrican Athenæum, of which he was a director.
Bishop Currier knew Greek and Hebrew and was fluent in Latin, English, Dutch, Spanish, French, German, and Italian.
