Ignace Bourget
Ignace Bourget (30 October, 1799 – 8 June, 1885) was a French-Canadian Roman Catholic priest and bishop of Montreal, known for his sympathy for the rebels during the Upper Canada Rebellion of 1837, for his re-introduction of the Jesuit order to Canada in 1842, and his support of Ultramontane principles. He ordered the construction of Saint-Jacques Cathedral (later Mary, Queen of the World Cathedral-Basilica).
