  • Ovide Charlebois
    OVIDE CHARLEBOIS Premier vicaire apostolique du Keewatin Mgr Ovide Charlebois Ovide Charlebois naît à Oka, au Québec, le 17 février 1862, septième d'une famille de quatorze enfants. Il a deux ans lorsque sa famille déménage à Sainte-Marguerite-du-Lac-Masson. Ovide ne pourra fréquenter l'école, distante de huit kilomètres; sa mère l'initiera à l'ABC de la science! À 12 ans, ce garçon déjà grand manie adroitement marteau, scie et faux. En lui donnant la confirmation, Mgr Édouard Fabre, de Montréal, le remarque et le recommande au collège de L'Assomption, où une bienfaitrice paie sa pension. Dans un foyer très chrétien, Ovide croît en générosité, en serviabilité et en piété. Il ambitionne de suivre les traces du père Albert Lacombe, O.M.I., son devancier au collège, géant missionnaire dans l'Ouest. Sur le sentier oblat Accepté chez les Oblats en 1882, Ovide est un modèle de régularité, de charité et de dévouement. Ordonné prêtre en 1887 par Mgr Vital Grandin, O.M.I., il verra avec joie deux de ses frères devenir Oblats comme lui. Deux autres seront prêtres séculiers, et une soeur religieuse. Sitôt ordonné, Ovide rejoint Mgr Grandin, qui l'envoie à Cumberland House, son futur poste d'attache. Débutent pour lui seize années d'ennui et de misère, parmi un peuple étranger. L'étude de la langue crie et du montagnais lui est très ardue. Il se distrait en bâtissant une chapelle et une baraque où résider. Il deviendra maître d'école et juge de paix. Fort, vif, endurant et habile, le père Charlebois bâtira une douzaine de chapelles, presbytères et écoles.

  • Bishop Charlebois
    “Venerable” Bishop Charlebois Pope Francis advances the cause of sainthood of Ovide Charlebois, oblate missionary and first apostolic vicar of Keewatin, Manitoba. Born in Quebec, Ovide Charlebois lived a life of heroic Christian virtue, serving in Saskatchewan, establishing schools and churches in Manitoba, all the while ministering to Indigenous peoples. Ovide Charlebois, on a visit to an Indigenous community in Northern. (photo: Société historique de Saint-Boniface) Pope Francis declared Bishop Ovide Charlebois, the first apostolic vicar of Keewatin, “venerable” on November 28. For father Robert Laroche, omi, former vicar general of Keewatin, the papal announcement is “a real source of pride”. “It’s a very significant moment for the Church in Manitoba. Like many missionaries, Bishop Charlebois may have been born in Quebec, but he’s one of us, a westerner, a Manitoban. Most of all, Bishop Charlebois was an extraordinary man, who gave his entire life to serving indigenous communities.” Ovide Charlebois was born in Oka, Quebec, in 1862. The seventh of fourteen children, he was ordained in 1887 and immediately began working in Saskatchewan, establishing a school, teaching and traveling thousands of miles by snowshoe, dogsled, and canoe to minister to the Métis and aboriginal communities. “It’s particularly fitting that the pope took this decision in 2019, the United Nations year of Aboriginal Languages, notes father Robert Laroche. (1) Ovide Charlebois spoke Ojibway and Cree, and a little bit of Dene. For him, reaching out to First Nations peoples in their own languages was vitally important. It wasn’t simply a matter of communicating clearly to them; it was a sign of deep respect.

  • APOSTOLIC VICARIATE of INGWVUMA, SOUTH AFRICA Description the Apostolic Vicariate of Ingwavuma Is in the Northeastern Part of the Republic of South Africa
    APOSTOLIC VICARIATE OF INGWVUMA, SOUTH AFRICA Description The Apostolic Vicariate of Ingwavuma is in the northeastern part of the Republic of South Africa. It includes the districts of Ingwavuma, Ubombo and Hlabisa. The Holy See entrusted this territory to the Servite Order in 1938 and the Tuscan Province accepted the mandate to implant the Church in this area (implantatio ecclesiae). Bishop Costantino Barneschi, Vicar Apostolic of Bremersdorp (now Manzini) asked the American Province to send friars for the new mission. Fra Edwin Roy Kinch (1918-2003) arrived in Swaziland in 1947. Other friars came from the United States and the Apostolic Prefecture of Ingwavuma was born. On November 19, 1990 the territory became an Apostolic Vicariate. After the Second World War the missionary territory was assumed directly by the friars of the North American provinces. By a decree of the 1968 General Chapter the then existing communities were established as the Provincial Vicariate of Zululand, a dependency of the US Eastern Province. At present there are 10 Servite friars who are members of the Zululand Delegation OSM. Servites The friars of the Zululand delegation work in five communities: Hlabisa, Ingwavuma, KwaNgwanase, Mtubtuba and Ubombo; there are 9 solemn professed (2 local, 2 Canadian and 5 from the US). General Information Area: 12,369 sq km; population: 609,180; Catholics: 23,054; other denominations: Lutherans, Anglicans, Methodists: 150,000; African Churches 60,000; non-Christian: 300,000; parishes: 5; missionary stations: 68; 8 Servite priests and one local priest: Father Wilbert Mkhawanazi. Lay Missionaries: 3; part-time catechists: 160; full-time catechists: 9.
