From 1994-1995, he served as Vocations Animator and from 1996-1997, he was a member of the community of formator priests at the Major Seminary in Québec City.
From 1997-1998, he completed some courses in Spirituality at the Centre Sèvres in Paris and upon his return to Canada, he was asked to serve as part of the formation team and as a spiritual father at the Major Seminary in Québec City, a post he held until 2011.

He was ordained a priest on 19 June 1976.
In that same year, he continued his studies and obtained a Masters degree in Theology from Laval University. Sent to Rome, to the Pontifical Gregorian University in 1986, he was subsequently granted a Doctorate in Theology with the thesis: Ecclesiology in the work of Henri de Lubac.
From 1976 until 1979, he exercised his ministry as vicar in the parishes of Saint-Edouard and Saint-Louis de Lotbinière. He was then appointed as regional pastoral animator in Lotbinière and Bois-Francs during the years 1979-1982, Pastor of Sainte-Emmelie-de-Lotbinière from 1980-1982, and regional pastoral animator for Québec-Centre from 1986-1987.
