His career began after he entered the order of Saint-Sulpice, and was subsequently professed in 1689. He spent his working days serving the Catholic Church, as he was Catholic himself. He received support from Governor Philipps, but went on to claim that Lieutenant-Governor Armstrong had turned against him. After facing imprisonment by Governor Armstrong, he fled to a Micmac encampment. After 14 months, he returned to his parish in 1729 after the return of Governor Phillips to Annapolis Royal. He was a man who stayed true to his religious ideals, which was a source of conflict between him and the civil authorities. He retired in 1730 in Paris.
