The religious orders that established themselves in New France did more than just tend to the spiritual needs of our ancestors. Susan McNelley, author of Hélène’s World: Hélène Desportes of Seventeenth-Century Quebec, rejoins us for an in-depth look at the theme of religion as it applied to 17th-century Québec.
We also discuss location and use of abjuration records and sick lists as well as other resources that give us a glimpse into the role of religion in New France. Links to all the resources are in the show notes at https://maplestarsandstripes.com/43.
