He first made his voyage to Canada by ship in June of 1676. He shortly worked as a priest in Quebec before leaving in January of 1678 to Trois-Rivières, where he supervised the Recollets (religious christian faith) and foresaw the building of a new church. In 1683, he returned to the Quebec region where he played the role of director of the Third Order (religious group) and was a novice master (trainer and supervisor of newcomers). In June of that same year, he would be instructed to institute the Recollets in Newfoundland by Bishop Saint-Vallier. Le Tac and Father Joseph Denys travelled along side Bishop Saint-Vallier; who appointed Le Tac as supervisor of the mission and Denys as priest of the parish of Plaisance. In September, it is believed that Le Tac had disagreements with the governor of Plaisance (M. Parat) regarding the use of fishing rooms, which ultimately motivated his return to France. The Bishop of Quebec wanted Recollets for the Acadian mission, and Le Tac delivered letters from the Bishop, to the King of France. Xiste Le Tac died on the 10th of August, 1718 at the convent of the Recollets in Rouen. Associated Course Select the course for which this item is created, if applicable.
