TELLIER, Remigius Joseph, Canadian clergyman, born in Soissons, France, in 1796; died in Montreal, Canada, 7 January, 1866. He entered the Society of Jesus on 11 October, 1818, and became rector of the College of Chambery, and in 1842 was sent with five colleagues to Canada, where the Roman Catholie bishop of Montreal had requested the pope to send members of the order. From the death of the last of the native Canadian Jesuits, Father Cazot, in 1800, there had been no establishment of the order in that country until the arrival of these six priests. For eight years after their arrival they had charge of the parish of La Prairie, where Father Tellier officiated for two years. Afterward he was employed among the Irish emigrants at St. Charles Point during the prevalence of ship-fever. He founded the Church of St. Patrick in Montreal, for three years was stationed in Upper Canada, and subsequently was sent to the United States, where he was at first prefect of studies and president of St. Francis Xavier college, and afterward at St. John's college, Fordham, New York He was made superior of his order in 1859, and returned to Montreal, where he passed the remainder of his life.
