Recollection houses were, strictly speaking, friaries to which friars desirous of devoting themselves to prayer and penance could withdraw to dedicate their lives to spiritual recollection. By the late 18th century, the French Récollets had 11 provinces with over 2500 friaries. The Order was suppressed in France during the Revolution. In other European countries it was -- and still is -- known as "Capuchin Friars." > > Fr John L > > -----Original Message----- > rom: quebec-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:quebec-bounces@rootsweb.com] On > ehalf Of Blair LeMire > ent: March-03-10 12:07 PM > o: QUEBEC@rootsweb.com > ubject: [QUEBEC] Parish question > Recently, while researching the Lemire family (Jean Francois Lemire and > rancois Foucault) on the FamilySearch.org Pilot records for Quebec site, I > an across birth records in Maskinongé; 1701-1797; St-Joseph-de-Maskinongé > arish.
