probably, in North America.
The l5th child of Joseph Chandonnet and Angele Bibeau, Thomas-Aime,
born at Saint-Pierre-les-Becquets on 26 December 1834, took holy
orders. After his ordination on
23 February 1861, Thomas-Aime became a professor at the Seminary of
Quebec. He then studied theology at Rome. Upon his return, he was
appointed principal of the
Ecole Normale Laval. The priest actively ministered to the French-
Canadian immigrants who settled at Worcester and New Bedford,
Massachusetts. He founded la Revue
Montreal. This pastor publicly opposed the intransigence of
Christian censorship... He made waves... He was buried in his native
village on 7 June 1881.
