Father Joseph Patrick Slattery, C.M. (21 May 1866 – 31 March 1931) physicist, radiologist, Catholic priest, pioneer in the field of radiography in Australia and credited with the first use of fluoroscopy in Australia. In 1866, born in Waterford, Ireland. Traveled to Australia as a deacon in 1888. Ordained as a priest by Cardinal Moran. As a Vincentian brother, along with 3 others, took over St. Stanislaus at Bathurst from the secular priests. Appointed to the position of professor and taught science, including physics and chemistry. Slattery had a keen interest in the new technology of wireless radio and was the first to install a wireless set west of the Blue Mountains. He was an early pioneer of radio in Australia and found delight in building radio sets. Slattery built an X-ray practice at Bathurst and local doctors benefited greatly from this convenience. He performed mission work for the Vincentian fathers and toured Australia and New Zealand to serve the faithful. Slattery was superior of the Vincentian novitiate at Eastwood. He was appointed vice-rector of St. John’s College at the University of Sydney. At Springwood and Manly, he was spiritual director of the seminaries for 6 years. Slattery performed parish work for the last 3 years of his life. In 1931 he died and was buried in Rookwood Cemetery at Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.〔Editor. (2 April 1931). 0bituary.

==Life and Times==
Joseph Patrick Slattery was born in 1866 at Waterford, Ireland, the son of John and Hanna Slattery, née Walsh. He attended Christian Brothers' College at Waterford, and then St. Vincent's College at Castleknock, Dublin from 1877 to 1886. At St. Vincent’s he fell under the tutelage of Father R. Bodkin. Father Bodkin had an excellent science laboratory that included a Callan battery from noted Irish priest, scientist and inventor Father Nicholas Callan. In 1886, Slattery achieved honors in experimental physics from his university examinations. On 7 September 1886, he entered the Vincentian seminary at Blackrock in Dublin, Ireland.〔Wilkinson, John P. (1987). Father Joseph Patrick Slattery, CM (1866-1931). Australian Dictionary of Biography. National Centre of Biography. Australian National University.〕〔Bourke, D.F. (1982).

Slattery was offered a position as professor at St. Stanislaus' College in Bathurst, Australia. He left Dublin and arrived in Sydney, Australia on 29 November 1888. On 1 January 1889, he took over as headmaster and joined the Vincentian staff to assist with the operation of the College. He taught courses in the natural sciences, in particular chemistry and physics.〔〔 He continued ecclesiastical studies while he taught the natural sciences. Slattery began to amass scientific equipment for the school’s laboratories. Much of the equipment and devices he built himself, as he was an expert glassblower. He was assisted by chemistry teacher and collaborator, C. A. Mulholland.〔〔〔 On 8 December 1891, Slattery was ordained as a Catholic priest by Cardinal Patrick Francis Moran in the college chapel and became prefect of studies. Until 1911, he continued to teach physics, chemistry and geology.〔〔
In 1893, Slattery installed gas lighting fixtures with incandescent burners into the study halls, almost one year before these became available in Australia. In 1895, the college acquired a gasoline powered engine, a six-inch (15 cm) sparking coil and two Crookes tubes. That same year the school upgraded to an oil powered engine, dynamo and storage batteries that supplied electric light to the science halls. At the time this was the only electric light in Bathurst. Next Slattery built an acetylene gas powered generator to provide stage lighting for the college theater. At this time he developed an early interest in color photography.〔〔Smith, Tony. (2009).
