Biography
Ordained 19 February 1921 in the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, he was appointed Bishop of Melo in 1929; he was ordained bishop by the Apostolic Nuncio to Argentina, Archbishop Filippo Cortesi. In 1931 his diocese is renamed Diocese of Florida-Melo, and since then, Paternain has his see at the Cathedral of Florida. Finally, in 1955 is created the Diocese of Florida, which Paternain still holds.
After a very long, fruitful bishopric, in 1960 he resigns as Bishop of Florida; he is appointed titular bishop of Mades in February and, in September, titular archbishop of Achrida.
He passes away in 1970.
