Title
de La Colombiere, Joseph (missionary in Quebec and Montreal, New France)
Description
In Montreal, he was chaplain to the troops sent to aid Quebec during a siege by Phips where he boldly declared the victory against the English to be attributed exclusively to the virgin. Due to his support for Sister Tardy whose visionary character upset a lot of religious authorities, he was sent to France in 1691. He returned to New France in 1692 where he eventually attained the dignity of precentor to the chapter of Quebec where he died in 1723 after being paralyzed for a few days.
