He was born at Bayonne, France, on 31 of October 1825.
After studying at St-Sulpice in Paris, he was ordained in 1849. He received his doctorate in letters in 1850 and in theology in 1853.
In 1856 he accepted the direction of the schools of the East, and was thus for the first time brought into contact with the Mahommedan world. He was made associate professor of ecclesiastical history at the Sorbonne, becoming titular of the chair in 1857. Two years later he was raised to the see of Nancy, where he remained for four years, during which the diocese became one of the best administered in France.
While bishop of Nancy he met Marshal MacMahon, then governor-general of Algeria, who in 1866 offered him the see of Algiers, just raised to an archbishopric. For this purpose he created the orders of the White Fathers in 1867 and the White Sisters 2 years later. Lavigerie landed in Africa on the 11th of May 1868, when the great famine was already making itself felt, and he began in November to collect the orphans into villages.
Pius IX refused this, but granted him a coadjutor, and placed the whole of equatorial Africa under his charge. In 1870 Lavigerie warmly supported papal infallibility.
In 1871 he was twice a candidate for the National Assembly, but was defeated.
In 1874 he founded the Sahara and Sudan mission, and sent missionaries to Tunis, Tripoli, East Africa and the Congo.
The order of African missionaries thus founded, for which Lavigerie himself drew up the rule, has since become famous as the Peres Blancs. Lavigerie's instructions for the preparation of Africans for baptism are still valid today. From 1881 to 1884 his activity in Tunisia so raised the prestige of France that it drew from Gambetta the celebrated declaration, L'Anti- clericalisme n'cst pas un article d'exportation, and led to the exemption of Algeria from the application of the decrees concerning the religipus orders. The tricolor and the cross he had merged in one symbol of liberation. On Nov. 12, 1890, Lavigerie created a sensation when he proclaimed before an assembly of officials in Algiers the obligation of French Catholics to support the republican regime. The later years of his life were spent in ardent anti-slavery propaganda, and his eloquence moved large audiences in London, as well as in Paris, Brussels and other parts of the continent.
He invited the officers of the Mediterranean squadron to lunch at Algiers, and, practically renouncing his monarchical sympathies, to which he clung as long as the comte de Chambord was alive, expressed his support of the republic. For this the monarchists severely criticized him.
