Death Notice: Rev. Jacques Labadie

It is with deep sadness that we share with you the news of the death of Rev. Jacques Labadie, at the Christ-Roi Hospital in Verdun related to issues with his heart. On July 31, 2020, he rejoined his beloved late spouse, Louise Poupart, in the company of the Lord. We extend our condolences and prayers to those close to him: his niece Marie-Élyse Brouillette, his cousin Robert Beaupré, his cousins Alice Monette and Micheline Labadie and his dearest friend, Florent Pelletier.

In addition to having been pastor of Église Unie Saint-Jean from 1987 to 1992, Jacques Labadie held various positions of responsibility within Consistoire Laurentian, of which he was president in 1989-90.

Jacques Labadie, who had to end his ministry for health reasons, loved his job as a pastor and adored people. His colleague and supervisor in Saint-Jean had found the right words to describe him: “[Jacques] has become a friend to parishioners of all generations and his calm and confident presence leaves us the lasting testimony of a deeply evangelical faith, while being resolutely open to the world in which we are called to put faith into practice. ”

The religious ceremony will be celebrated in the presence of the ashes, at 2:30 p.m. in the chapel of the funeral complex.
