The first Canadian to be ordained priest, Father Germain Morin is known to have been at the Jesuit College in 1659 and to have been part of the organization and singing of masses. In that year he received the diaconate from Bishop François de Laval. His main contribution to the early church in New France was his execution of his duties as secretary of the bishopric of Quebec. After 1670 he served as a parish priest in a number of locations, eventually passing away at the Hôtel-Dieu de Québec.
