From the Venerable Mons. Ovidio Charlebois IMO: On this journey, I've roughly traveled: 300 miles on the railway, 80 miles on a large wagon with no shock absorber on terrible roads, 2,000 miles on canoe, 40 to 50 miles on foot loading through the woods. I've slept 60 times on the floor, protected by a tiny tarp. So many times I celebrated Mass in that same tent. I visited 14 missions that include a population of 4.500 Catholics; six of these missions had never been visited by a bishop. I have preached 7 retreats four to six days [First episcopal tour, 1911] (from postulatio omi)

Fr. Paolo Archiati, the Vicar General, presides and preaches at a mass giving thanks for the life and witness of Venerable Bishop Ovide Charlebois.
