Identity

Possibly the same man referenced in The Catholic World (Oct. 1899):

One more great and important mission in London was given during this period of my reminiscences in that country. This was in the Spanish Chapel. [...] It was a pleasure to hear this testimonial given to us by a man so justly celebrated in all ecclesiastical circles, both in England and in Continental Europe, as the Very Rev. Pere Martin, S.J.

In England he is frequently mentioned, for brevity's sake, as the French Pugin. [...] Soon after beginning our work at the Spanish Chapel I learned that Father Martin was announced to preach one morning at the French Chapel. Anxious to hear so celebrated an orator, and one whom I understood to be full of missionary fervor and experience, I made an opportunity to go and hear him, He produced a great impression on me as an earnest and fervent pulpit orator. A day or two afterward he came in his turn to the Spanish Chapel and took notice of our missionary work there. He seemed much pleased with all he saw.

"Why, this," said he, "is no retreat, but a real mission; something which is getting to be rare in our days."
