Camille Lefebvre, C.S.C. (14 February 1831 – 28 January 1895) was a Holy Cross father and vicar general for the Acadians.
Camille Lefebvre went in 1864, along with Bishop John Sweeny, to New Brunswick intending to provide education to the Catholic population who were Freench speaking. This group was predominantly made up of the Acadian population.
He originally was a primary school teacher before being ordained a priest in 1852.
Famous quotes containing the word camille:
“The old-fashioned idea that the simple piling up of experiences, one on top of another, can make you an artist, is, of course, so much rubbish. If acting were just a matter of experience, then any busy harlot could make Garbo’s Camille pale.”
—Helen Hayes (1900–1993)
