438. Sulpician Abbot Fenelon

Appointed governor by the Society of Saint-Sulpice seigneurs of Montreal island, Francois-Marie Perrot clashed with Governor General of New France Frontenac in 1675. When Sulpician Abbot François de Salignac de La Mothe-Fénelon (1641–1679) intervened on behalf of Perrot, Frontenac referred the matter the Court of King Louis XIV in France. Fénelon, a French Sulpician priest who was an eloquent preaching missionary in New France was eventually forbidden to remain in Canada due to his political interference and ultimately withdrew from the Sulpicians. The mission he founded a mission in the Kenté (Quinte) region of Lake Ontario left no trace, but his name is remembered at Fenelon Falls. He died at the age of 38, with his final whereabouts unknown.
