He studied twelve years at the college of Olomouc near Brno.  He left Cadiz 16 January 1750 for Mexico, and left Mexico City for Bac in the fall of 1750.  He had only been there a few months when the Pima Rebellion erupted and he ran for his life.  He came to Guevavi in 1753 and in 1754 brought back the santos and vestments from Arizpe.  He professed his final vows at Arizpe on 2 February 1755.  He relocated about 78 natives from Toacuquita to Calabazas, establishing it as a visita of Guevavi.  He was in San Ignacio in January 1760.  He built churches at Tumacácori, and Sonoitac.  He left Guevavi more prosperous than he had found it.  He labored at its reconstruction for six years.  He was well versed in frontier medicine.  He was named Father Rector of the Pimeria Alta and reassigned to San Ignacio in 1760.  After the expulsion of the Jesuits in 1767, Pauer was imprisoned near Cadiz.  He died there on his 49th birthday, 6 January 1770.
