Michel Baudouin (Baudoin), (16 March 1691 – 1768), a Jesuit missionary, was born at Quebec and was the brother of Gervais Baudoin and son of Gervais Baudouin.
Michel began his Jesuit noviciate at Bordeaux, France in 1713 and previous to that had completed his college and philosophy studies, probably in Canada.
In Louisiana, Baudouin was assigned to the Choctaw Mission, where he remained for eighteen years.
At that time the expulsion of the Jesuits was taking place in that area but the priest was allowed to remain.
According to sources, he was a dedicated priest and gentle man who served his country, his faith, and the people to whom he ministered.
