Recollets





CANADA

The Récollets were important as Missionaries to the French Colonies in Canada , although they were displaced there by the Jesuits . The first Récollet missionaries arrived at Quebec City , from Rouen on June 2 , 1615 . The Récollet fathers are said to have brewed the first beer in New France in 1620. They left New France in 1629 but returned in 1670. After the British conquest, the order was prohibited from recruiting new members. The last Canadian Récollet Brother Louis died in 1848 at Quebec City .
