Paul La Rocque, also known as Paul-Stanislas LaRocque (October 27, 1846 – August 15, 1926) was a Canadian Roman Catholic priest and Bishop of Sherbrooke from 1893 to 1926.
He was ordained in the chapel of the Hôtel-Dieu in Montreal[1] on May 9, 1869 by Bishop Charles La Rocque, a distant cousin.
La Rocque returned to Saint-Hyacinthe in 1884 and a year later was appointed curé of Saint-Michel Cathedral.
As bishop, he opposed mixed marriages and the practice of Catholic children attending Protestant schools.
[5] In 1901 the Benedictines of the Abbey of Saint Wandrille in Normandy were expelled under the "Association Laws" by the French government, and found refuge in Belgium.
