Mr. Ornella St. Jean de Brebeuf was born in Normandy, France, on March 25, 1593. In 1622, Jean was ordained as a priest, after he joined the Society of Jesus. Three years after St. Jean was ordained, he volunteered to go to Quebec, Canada, as a missionary to teach about Christ (Catholic Online). St. Jean de Brebeuf was known for his ability to speak many languages, which made him an excellent choice to be a missionary to New France or Canada. I chose St Jean de Brebeuf because my favorite sport is lacrosse. History states that Jean de Brebeuf named the present day version of the Indian game lacrosse, because the stick used reminded him of a Bishop's crosier. In French the Bishop’s crosier translates to la crosse (Catholic Saints).
St Jean de Brebeuf, whose feast day is March 16, served as a Jesuit priest for the Missionary in Huron, Canada and converted thousands of Huron Indians to the Catholic faith.

Jean and I share. St. Jean and I both aspire to teach those who may not possess knowledge of our faith. St. Jean would teach the people of Huron about Christ and I could teach my family members more about the way to follow in Christ’s mission. St. Jean inspires me in my Catholic faith by relating my interests of sports, to my love of Jesus Christ. Also, I am inspired in knowing that Jesus is with me, at all times. I can grow in my relationship with St. Jean by praying to him, asking for his help and intercession. I can serve others, in need of my help and guidance, by living a life like St.

The speaker is Baron de Breteuil, a French diplomat from Moscow. The speaker is credible because even though he acknowledges how certain aspects of her reign will flourish and how her passion proves useful in Russian society, he does mention negative vices that will inflict havoc upon her sovereignty and ultimately lead to internal faults in her empire.
Yes. New France was doomed to fail. The issues in New France from 1608 to 1663 divide up into three categories; Economic issues, Territorial Issues and Political Issues. Economic issues are mainly based on the fur trade, Territorial Issues are mainly based on the trading posts, colonies and the land wars between the English and Political Issues are mainly established on the lack of people in New France compared to the English. French presence in North America was marked by economic exchanges with Aboriginal people, but also by conflicts, as the French attempted to control this vast territory.

As a teenager, Pierre Trudeau attended Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf, a French-speaking Jesuit institution. At home, the Trudeaus spoke a mixture of French and English, so Pierre found the transition from an English school to a French one quite effortless . His interest in politics has waned slightly. Instead, he wanted to become a sea captain, explorer, or an astronaut, a term not yet coined. He loved to travel, and just before he had graduated from high school, he toured the Gaspé Region on foot, rode through the three Maritime Provinces on a motorcycle, visited British Columbia, and took a train to Mexico.

Martel demonstrates that new English nationalistic ideas (in response to immigration) brought new threats of assimilation towards this identity, particularly to French-Canadian citizens not living in Quebec. French-Canadians, originally hesitant to colonize these Western Canadian areas were now encouraged to protect them as they saw these nations as isolated communities of French culture. Finally, both Lacombe and Laplante demonstrate that when the Catholic Church had less influence on political and social institutions, the church became less of a defining concept of the French-Canadian identity. These three, when grouped together, also provide a chronological overview of the rise and fall of Catholic influence among French-Canadian citizens. Lacombe provides the reasons for the rise during the nineteenth century, and its subsequent decline in the early twentieth century. Martel demonstrates how French-Canadian citizens were motivated to preserve their Catholic identity when they began to lose control of the Catholic dioceses outside Quebec during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Laplante explores the transition of Quebec to a more secular province in the 1960s, where the Catholic Church gave way for the province of Quebec to provide the national identity of French-Canadian citizens.
