  • Claude Jean Allouez; was a Jesuit missionary and French explorer of North America. Allouez was born in Saint-Didier-en-Velay in the département of Haute-Loire in south-central France. In 1639, he graduated from the College of Le Puy, and became a Jesuit novice in Toulouse, France. In 1655, he was ordained a priest of the Roman Catholic Church. Allouez arrived in Quebec in 1658 and immediately began a study of the Wyandot and Anishinaabe languages to prepare himself for work as a missionary among the American Indian tribes along the St. Lawrence River for three years. In 1660 he became the superior of the mission at Trois-Rivières, Quebec. His stay there lasted until 1663 when he was named vicar general of a part of the diocese of Quebec that is now the central region of the United States. This appointment was made by Bishop François de Laval, the first bishop of New France. From 1667 through 1669 Allouez made a missionary tour of the western missions. He served as a missionary to the Potawatomi Indians in Wisconsin. The next year he was with the Mesquakie, establishing St. Mark's Mission, and founding the mission of St. James among the Miami and Mascouten Indians, finally returning to Green Bay later that year. He said the first Mass in Oconto, Wisconsin. In 1671, in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, he was a principal speaker at the ceremony that formally declared the Northwest Territory subject to the King of France. In 1671 he founded the St. Francis Xavier Mission at the last set of rapids on the Fox River before entering the Bay of Green Bay. The site was known as Rapides Des Pères (rapids of the fathers) which became modern day De Pere, Wisconsin. In 1686 he built a log cabin on the shore of St. Mary's Lake and established the St. Joseph Mission on what is now the campus of the University of Notre Dame. He continued Jacques Marquette's evangelizing of the Indians until his death in 1689, near what is today Niles, Michigan just north of South Bend, Indiana. He is buried in Niles. A good portion of Father Allouez’s written work from the time has been preserved. It provides insight into the missions of the time and provides a record that is extensive and important of the Catholic Church in mid-America. It also contains the first documented accounts of the Illinois Indians.
  • Claude-Jean Allouez oli ranskalaissyntyinen jesuiitta lähetyssaarnaaja ja tutkimusmatkailija, joka matkusti Pohjois-Amerikassa ja kirjoitti retkistään alkuasukkaiden parissa. Allouez vihittiin katoliseksi papiksi 1655. Hän saapui Quebeciin 1658 ja alkoi heti opiskella paikallisten heimojen kieliä tehdäkseen heidän parissaan lähetystyötä. Allouez asettui Madelinin saarelle ja kartoitti lähiympäristoä. Hänen vuonna 1671 julkaisemansa kartta oli siihenastisista paras, ja lisäsi eurooppalaisten tietämystä alueesta. Allouezia kunnioitetaan Yhdysvalloissa, etenkin Wisconsinissa. Häntä on sanottu Amerikan katolisen kirkon perustajaksi.
  • Claude-Jean Allouez (1622-1689) est un jésuite et un missionnaire du Canada. Né à Saint-Didier, dans le Velay en France, le 6 juin 1622, il entra chez les Jésuites à Toulouse en 1639 et fut ordonné prêtre vers 1655. Troisième An de probation à Rodez (1655-1656), il devint ensuite prédicateur à Rodez (1656-1658). Arrivé à Québec le 11 juillet 1658, il étudia d'abord la langue algonquine, et se rendit aux Trois-Rivières l'année suivante. Le 19 septembre 1660, il devint supérieur de cette résidence et y demeura jusqu'au 5 août 1665. Il partit alors pour remplacer le père René Ménard dans ses travaux apostoliques chez les Algonquins de la mission du Saint-Esprit, située près du lac Supérieur. Il y passa plusieurs années au milieu des fatigues, des privations et des persécutions; mais il fut aidé par le jésuite français Jacques Gravier. Il eut la consolation d'avoir porté le flambeau de la foi à plus de vingt différentes nations d'Amérindiens. Ce père mourut à la mission de Saint-Joseph en juillet 1689, âgé de 73 ans.
