Before his travels, he learned how to paint and design at Recollet monastery, where Frère Luc, (Claude François) lived and introduced the Recollet style. Drué took those techniques, such as the woodcarving, and brought them to Canada, where he used them to design churches, one of which was the Recollet church of Montreal in 1706. Although he was very talented artistically, Drué decided to dedicate most of his time to missionary work and he was referred to as “prêtre missionnaire”, in Quebec. It is evident that he had spent some time at Saint-Augustin de Portneuf. He stopped his missions for a couple of years in order to become the first chaplain of the Hôpital Générale of Quebec. The last mention of Juconde Drué in Canada was in 1726, in Montreal. Associated Course Select the course for which this item is created, if applicable.

Although he is originally from Paris, France, he travelled to Canada and there are numerous churches affiliated with and influenced by his design style, however not all of them survived.
