was put to death in 1646, and a little later Fathers Daniel, photo sistter sex Brebeuf,
photo sistter sex and Lallement together with several of their companions met a similar
photo sistter sex fate.
But notwithstanding these reverses the work of Christianising the
native photo sistter sex races of Canada proceeded apace. In 1642 the
city of Montreal
was founded, and in 1657 the superior of the Sulpicians despatched
several of his community photo sistter sex to labour in the new colony. Two years later
Francois de Montmorency-Laval photo sistter sex photo sistter sex arrived as first bishop and vicar-
apostolic of New France. West and east the missionaries continued to
win new conquests for the Church. The English, however, gave great
trouble to the missionaries by stirring up the Indian tribes to make
war photo sistter sex on the Christian settlements. Nor was the French colony,
practically deserted as it had been by the mother country, able to
hold its own against photo sistter sex the English colonists. In 1713 France ceded photo sistter sex to
England Acadia, Newfoundland, and the Hudson Bay territory. In photo sistter sex Acadia
the Catholic missions had been very successful, but in 1755 the
unfortunate Catholics, who refused to take the oath that was tendered
to them, were seized and deported. In 1759 Quebec was taken, and by
the photo sistter sex Treaty of Paris (1763) Canada passed under the dominion photo sistter sex of the
English.
Many French missionaries from Canada worked photo sistter sex in the district stretching
from the St. Lawrence to Lake Superior, and missions were
established
by the Jesuits in the states of Michigan, photo sistter sex Wisconsin, and Illinois. In
1673 Father Marquette (1636-75) undertook a journey southward to visit
the great river about which he had heard from the Indians, and to open
up new fields of work for himself photo sistter sex and his associates. He succeeded in
photo sistter sex reaching the Mississippi, and sailed down the river as far photo sistter sex as the
mouth of Arkansas. As a result of the information acquired from photo sistter sex those
who returned from this voyage of exploration, expeditions were sent
out by the French to take possession of the new territories and to
erect fortifications against the further advance westward of the
English colonists. The city of New Orleans was founded in 1717.
Missionaries--Capuchins, Jesuits, and priests of the Society for
Foreign Missions--preached the gospel with great success to the
natives in Louisiana, Mississippi, Iowa, Arkansas, and Ohio.
The Jesuits, under the leadership of Father White, photo sistter sex who settled in the
