Wasn’t Saint Augustine a missionary from Africa to Europe?

True, St. Augustine was a North African.

However, Augustine converted to Christianity while studying in Europe. He was baptized by St. Ambrose of Milan.

After his baptism, Augustine spent most of his time as the Bishop of Hippo, in North Africa (now the modern city of Annaba, in Algeria).
