About Joseph-Vincent Quiblier

  • Joseph-Vincent Quiblier (26 June 1796 – 12 September 1852) was a Roman Catholic priest involved in Sulpician educational endeavors in Canada. Born in France, Quiblier moved to Montreal in 1825 with Joseph-Alexandre Baile and almost immediately became involved as a Sulpician educator at the Petit Séminaire de Montréal.
  • Although he was young and poorly trained, there was a great need to fill teaching positions at the seminary.
  • By 1828, he was the director there and seems to have had the confidence of the French Canadian Sulpicians.
  • However, this group appears to have been in conflict with the rest of Catholic community including Archbishop Bernard-Claude Panet. Quiblier became the superior of the Séminaire de Saint-Sulpice in Montreal in 1831.
  • He retained this position until 1846 when he resigned under some pressure and was replaced.
  • The new superior was Pierre-Louis Billaudèle who was the director of the first Grand Séminaire de Montréal.
