“God’s work done in God’s way will never lack God’s supply.” (Hudson Taylor)<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

The Canadian Oblate, Alexandre Tach\u00e9, was a 22 year-old scholastic when Eugene sent him to St Boniface.\u00a0 Writing to Fr Pierre Aubert about him, Eugene said:<\/h3>\n

I did not wait for your letter to decide that an associate priest be sent to you. You had gone when my orders arrived at Longueuil. I wrote again that they send you a priest as one of the two who were to join you. I presume however that the dear companion who went with you to found the house of Red River has been raised to the priesthood and also that he has had to place his profession in your hands as I had authorized. It is good to make one\u2019s vows on the battlefield in the face of the enemy one has come so far to fight.<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

Such thoughts were on my mind on the 17th of this month and indeed I spoke of them at the fine reunion we had of all our Fathers and Brothers who renewed before me and in the presence of Our Lord Jesus Christ the consecration they had made of themselves to the Lord in years more or less remote.<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

Letter to Fr Pierre Aubert, St Boniface Canada, 21 February 1846, EO I n 61<\/em><\/h3>\n

The two missionaries, Father Aubert and Scholastic Tach\u00e9 and two Grey Nuns left on June 25, aboard a boat belonging to the Hudson Bay Company and they arrived in Saint-Boniface on August 25 after sixty-two days travel. Taken aback at seeing the young missionary, Bishop Provencher is supposed to have said: \u201cWe need men and they are sending me children.(\u201dhttps:\/\/www.omiworld.org\/lemma\/tache-bishop-alexandre\/)<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

Bishop Provencher ordained this “child” to the diaconate as soon as he arrived, and to the priesthood in October 1845, and on the following day Father Aubert witnessed his perpetual oblation in St Boniface. Five years later Alexandre Tach\u00e9 became a Bishop and was to be a major force in the establishment and growth of the Church in Western Canada.<\/h3>\n
