1763 CE

France had lost its North American territory of New France, where Jesuit missionaries had been active in the seventeenth century among indigenous peoples, following the British victory against the French in Quebec in 1759.

British rule has implications for Jesuits in New France, but their numbers and sites are already in decline.

As early as 1700, the Jesuits had adopted a policy of merely maintaining their existing posts instead of trying to establish new ones beyond Quebec, Montreal, and Ottawa.

Once New France is under British control, the British bar  the immigration of any further Jesuits.

By 1763 there are only twenty-one Jesuits still stationed in what is now the British colony of Quebec.
