Role of Religion in New France

Central to colonization

Religion was closely tied to French imperial goals, spreading Catholicism was seen as part of expanding French influence in North America.
Missionary work helped justify colonization as a “civilizing mission,” framing empire-building as both spiritual and political duty.

Church and state partnership

The Catholic Church supported French authority, provided education and healthcare, and helped organize new settlements.
Religious orders like the Ursulines and Hospital Sisters educated girls and cared for the sick, reinforcing Church presence in daily colonial life.

The Recollects (Franciscan Order)

Early missionaries

The Recollects were the first Catholic missionaries in New France (arrived 1615).
They often depended on alliances with Indigenous groups, especially the Huron, for survival and translation work.

Approach

They focused on preaching to settlers and converting indigenous peoples, though their small numbers limited their success.
Their emphasis on simplicity and humility reflected early Franciscan ideals, which sometimes clashed with colonial ambitions.

Legacy

They paved the way for later missionary groups like the Jesuits and set up the first religious institutions in Quebec.
