He is known in Quebec City as the "nurse to the poor". Seven days a week, 365 days a year, he makes his way through the city's underprivileged districts, dispensing care and compassion to the indigent and the sick. His work is expanding. This indefatigable street worker continues to inspire young people and the team of volunteers who assist him. Recently, a foundation bearing his name was created to help him achieve his objective: to relieve misery and solitude.
