Continuing to read Eugene’s letter to the Novice Master and to the novices, we come across news from Canada of several diocesan priests coming to join the Oblate Congregation. Very soon the missionaries would be in a position to begin the evangelization of the indigenous people.<\/h3>\n

Father <\/strong><\/em>[Eusebe] Durocher made his profession on October 15, in the presence of two<\/strong>Bishops and of so many other persons that the ceremony had to be held in the parish church. The Bishop of Juliopolis said the Mass and preached. The Bishop of Montreal was present. It goes without saying that the superior received the vows and blessed the cross and scapular. All were delighted and touched by the beauty of the ceremony. This is a third professed priest.<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

The brother of the new Oblate <\/strong><\/em>[ Flavien Durocher] was received as a novice on St. Michael\u2019s eve. He is another Sulpician. This Father has always had the reputation of being a saint and a learned man. He was especially well thought of in the community in which he had been a member of the council for fourteen years and was director of the Algonquins of Two Mountain Lake. This tells you that he is a master of that language, to such an extent that he has written a grammar and a dictionary and speaks the language better than the Indians themselves.<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

In a few days from now, following the intentions of the Bishop, Brothers Loverloch\u00e8re and Bourassa are going to start learning Algonquin. The last word has not been said about vocations…<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

I thought that this passage from the letter I have just received would please you and interest the novitiate as much as it has overjoyed our Oblates. You see how the good Lord is blessing us. Let us have courage. and not allow ourselves to be intimidated by the least impediments.<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

Goodbye, my dear man, I greet you affectionately and bless all your novices and the whole community. I embrace you wholeheartedly.<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n
