Pierre Floquet

September 12, 1716 (age 66)

Paris, France

Floquet spent two years as a missionary at Kahnawake and took his vows as a priest in 1752. He served as bursar for the college at Quebec City until 1757, when he became superior for the Jesuits at Montreal. After Montreal was captured by the Americans in 1775, his interactions with the invading forces compromised him in the eyes of the British and of bishop Briand. He also had expressed opposition to the Quebec Acting, had given the sacraments to people who had joined the American forces and had dined with American Colonel Moses Hazen. After being placed under an interdict by the bishop, Floquet expressed regret for not following the Briand"s instructions to remain loyal to the British cause. Floquet died in Quebec City at the age of 65.
