Urbain Boiret (6 September 1731 – 5 November 1774) was a priest born in France who came to Canada and became a pivotal superior of the Séminaire de Québec.
Boiret came to Canada in 1755 with another priest, Henri-François Gravé de La Rive[1].
His intention was to be part of the mission to the Tamaroa tribe in Illinois but his services were needed at the Séminaire de Québec.
However, almost everything was destroyed and Boiret, as bursar of the seminary, moved to Saint-Joachim to take stock of the situation and regroup.
A 19th-century priest, Bishop Edmond Langevin discovered documentation regarding Boiret.
