An examination of the religious aspects of life in the outpost of Louisbourg during the 18th century. This volume establishes the secular and religious contexts of life at Louisbourg and traces the mixed fortunes of three religious groups: the Recollets of Brittany, who acted as parish priests and chaplains; the Brothers of Charity of Saint John of God, who operated the King's Hospital; and the Sisters of the Congregation of Notre-Dame, who ran the local school for girls. The author notes the groups' remarkable persistence in the face of personnel shortages, financial burdens and conflicts with secular authorities and rival religious bodies.
