Modeste Demers

"The amount of work before the missionaries may be better imagined than described, but though unworthy and poor instruments in the hands of Him to show forth the might of his arm, chose to procure the salvation of mankind by the ministry not of angels, but of men, they put their whole trust and confidence in Him."

"Beloved alike by Protestants and Catholics, and revered for his gentleness and his apostolic zeal on behalf of the poor and lowly."
