The Third Order is essentially a membership of lay people who live outside of their religious institution but maintain participation in a religious lifestyle. As novice master of the Third Order, Xiste oversaw training and management of all young novices within his institution (Third Order). There isn’t a lot of information out there on further specifics on what Xiste Le Tac did while in Quebec beyond Novice Master and Director of the Third Order. It does mention that he had an argument with a Governor in Acadia over the use of gravel and because of this disagreement he went back to France and never returned to new France as he died shortly thereafter.

Title A name given to the resource Le Tac, Xiste (Missionary in Quebec, New France) Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1676-1678; 1683-1689 Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Worked as a priest in Quebec region, when he returned from Trois-Rivieres he worked as Director of the Third Order and novice master. Description An account of the resource As Director of the Third order, Xiste would lead periodic devotional activities and services for members of the order in the Quebec region. This included small scale mass services and prayer groups. The idea of the third order was that there was less steadfast, written in stone rules the members had to follow and things they had to do, as a result, Xiste lead smaller scale events and remained present for members as they needed him for confessionals and other support. As novice master, Xiste ensured that all Novice members of the Order were trained and devoted their time to prayer, meditation, studying the religion, history and vows they had to take. Novice Masters were not necessarily considered teachers, but rather overseers. If you were a novice, your study and devotion to the religion came from within in you and your novice master was there only to ensure you were devoting your time well and to the right thing.
