Louis-Honoré Pâquet

Louis-Honoré Pâquet (or Paquet, French pronunciation: [pɑkɛt]; 23 October 1838 – 19 September 1915) was a French-Canadian Roman Catholic priest and university teacher, as well as celebrated orator of his time.

Pâquet was born in 1838 in Saint-Nicolas, near Lévis, in what was then Lotbinière County, on the southern shore of the Saint Lawrence River opposite Québec City.

The following years he was amongst three priests (the other two were Benjamin and future archbishop Louis-Nazaire Bégin) chosen to completed advanced studies in Rome.

Returning from that travel he became a lecturer of dogma, a position where his oratory and teaching abilities began to be noticed.

The newly arrived order greatly benefited from the man's business sense and unshakeable confidence.

He used that appointment to further his personal goal of establishing a location for the adoration of the holy eucharist, to which the order's chapel was dedicated (the entire convent has since been converted in a retirement home complex).
