Quotes about Bernard-Claude Panet

[edit]
  • The chief events of his administration were: the building of Nicolet College, to which he contributed the sum, large for the time, of $32,000; the foundation of the College of Ste-Anne-de-la-Pocatière by the Abbé Painchaud; the educational law of 1829 which granted allowances for the creation of parish schools and the maintenance of colleges, convents, and academies already in existence; the erection in Quebec, with his help, of St. Patrick's church for the Irish.
  • Primary schools multiplied everywhere, promoted by the Educational Society of Quebec and by the law of the parish schools. Colleges for secondary instruction were founded wherever needed, and several episcopal sees were erected: Kingston, Charlottetown, and Montreal. In all these movements Bishop Panet took a leading part.
