Excerpt from Discours Prononcé par M. Raymond, V. G., À la Translation du Corps de Messire Girouard, au Séminaire de St. Hyacinthe, le 17 Juillet 1861
J e ne le suivrai pas dans ses missions lointaines à la Baie des Chaleurs, dont il a desservi seul pendant quelque temps les deux côtes dans toute leur étendue: J'aurais trop à dire de son zèle apostolique, de son dévouement, qui lui a fait plusieurs fois braver la mort en traversant la Baie au milieu des plus grands dangers.
