Fabien Costes, SS.CC., (born Joseph Costes; 1796 – 6 May 1878) was a French Catholic Catechist brother of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, a religious institute of the Roman Catholic Church. He was part of the Roman Catholic mission in the Gambier Islands from 1835 until his death in 1878 and with Brother Gilbert Soulié trained the natives workers and masons in the construction of many of the island's impressive buildings including St. Michael's Cathedral in Rikitea.[1][2][3][4]
