On November 24, 2020, Abbot Lucien Ouellet, who had been the chaplain for the S\u00fbret\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec, passed away at the age of 97. A native of Saint-L\u00e9on-le-Grand in Matap\u00e9dia, he entered the Grand S\u00e9minaire in 1945, and was ordained a priest on June 12, 1949. He was the vicar at Saint-Odilon-de-Cranbourne, in the parish of Saint-Pierre and Saint-Paul in Baie-Saint-Paul, as well as at Sacr\u00e9-C\u0153ur-de-J\u00e9sus in Pointe-au-Pic, then in the parishes of Saint-Roch and Notre-Dame-de-Jacques-Cartier. In 1963, he became the chaplain for the Institut de Technologie de Qu\u00e9bec, then chaplain for the provincial police at the Quebec City prison for men and the Notre-Dame-de-la-Merci shelter, and in 1965, the chaplain for the Quebec City Fire Brigade. He was subsequently the chaplain for the provincial police force, the S\u00fbret\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec, until his retirement.<\/p>\n
Mr.\u00a0Ouellet wished to leave something to the community through the creation of a philanthropic fund in his will. This type of planned gift allows a fund creator to leave their mark and pass on the values that are near and dear to them, without compromising their current financial status.<\/p>\n
Subsequent to his passing, the Fonds Fondation Lucien Ouellet is going to be created at the Foundation of Greater Montr\u00e9al and will enable support to be given out in the areas he wanted to promote and encourage.<\/p>\n
