1575Death of Father Castaneda, "who though Rector for many years, was told by the Provincial, Father Bustamante, to go and work in the kitchen. He cheerfully obeyed, and helped the cook for many months."
1611Jesuit Fathers Biard and Masse land at Annapolis in Nova Scotia. They are the first French Jesuits in North America.
1845Pope Gregory XVI refused the demand of the French government that the French Jesuits should be secularized and their houses closed.
1868Fr. Clement Boulanger dies. He was superior of the French Jesuits in Canada. He re-established the mission there. He was an official visitor to the U.S.A. and one of the founders of Fordham University.
