He founded St. Mary's college, Montreal, presided over it for many years, and displayed his architectural skill in connection with it and two adjacent churches. He was next stationed at Quebec, but, his eyesight becoming impaired, he returned to France and connected himself with a Jesuit establishment near Paris. While in Canada he explored the Huron country, wrote a report upon it, and assisted in preparing a series of volumes on the Jesuit missions.
