Biography of Henri Gosselin
" During the Korean conflict, Henry (baptized "Henri") Gosselin - a Franco-American pacifist and the descendant of Clement Gosselin's great-grandfather - was drafted in the U.S. Army, and he served as Sergeant/Major of the First Battalion of the 5th Regimental Combat Team, which was engaged with the Chinese and North Koreans on the northwest ridge of the Punchbowl in North Korean (1952-1953). Although he never fired a weapon in combat, he was awarded the Commendation Ribbon with Metal Pendant for meritorious service by the U.S. Secretary of the Army. He subsequently served as editor of a daily newspaper on a troopship from Sasebo, Japan to Seattle, Washington.
After his military discharge, he served as editor of weekly newspaper in Lisbon Falls and Lewiston. Then in Skowhegan, he was co-owner and editor of the Somerset Reporter for 11 years.
In 1968, he was named editor of Maine's Catholic weekly - the Church World - and worked for three Bishop-Publishers over a 26-year period. During 11 years that the paper competed with other diocesan papers, the Church World received 69 national awards for editorial excellence from the Catholic Press Association of the U.S. and Canada. Gosselin was the 1991 winner of the St-Francis de Sales Award - the highest award the Catholic Press Association confers. In 1972, he was knighted by Pope Paul VI in the Order of St-Gregory the Great.
A graduate of St-Anselm College in Manchester, N.H., he received a Master's Degree from the Boston University School of Public Relations and Communications in 1951. He is the recipient of two honorary degrees: Doctor of Humane Letters from St-Joseph's College in Standish, Maine; and Doctor of Journalism from St-Anselm College in N.H. In September 1996, he was honored by the Association des familles Gosselin d'Amérique for bearing with distinction the name "Gosselin".
After traveling to various undeveloped countries throughout the world to publicize the humane and charitable services of Catholic agencies, Henri Gosselin retired from his journalism duties to conduct research on the career of Clement Gosselin, George Washington's French-Canadian Spy."

Thursday morning the fifteen of august
1918 in the feast of Assumption of the Holy Virgin died in his house of
St-Charles M. Aug-Hon. Gosselin distinguish historian, author of many important
works about the history of our country.
It is in those words that " La Semaine Religieuse " (Religious Week)
gave us notice of this sorry event.
Born December the 29 1843 in St-Charles-de-Bellechasse, son of Joseph's and
Angèle Labrie, he represents the fourth generation of Gosselin line in
St-Charles.
After the parish school he will begin the ten years of classical and theological
studies at the Séminaire de Quebec (1856-1866) before being ordained in his
native parish September the 30 1866. Then he will be by turns secretary of
archibishoprie (1866-1868) and vicar at Quebec Basilica before to found the
parish of St-Jeanne de Neuville (Pont-Rouge) à 26 years old, where he will be
parish priest during 16 years from 1869 to 1886. He will also build the church
and the presbytery.
After the first cure, during which the parishioners find in him an inclination
for studies and historical researches. They thought it was too much. He was send
to the parish of St-Ferréol (Beaupré coast) as his next stop from 1886. At 50
years old, at the end of his second parish charge, Auguste-Honoré Gosselin
retired in his home and he stayed there until his sudden death
14 august 1918.
This doctor Es Letters from Laval
University (1888) and Ottawa University (1897) had a so deep care of culture
that as early as 1878, he will arrange a library in his presbytery in which we
find 145 books for 50 readers. Two years later we will find 300 books for 60
readers.
He considerate as an untiring worker, his first real major book was " Vie
de Mgr de Laval ", which he will write many other books, published in 1890,
in two tomes. This book give him entry at the Royal Society of Canada in 1892.
The biography of the first Bishop of Quebec and the Canada, and many other works
that followed, made him the Historian of the Canadian Church.
In November 1991, a new library was opened in the Pont-Rouge municipality. It
will be officially called the: Bibliothèque Auguste-Honoré Gosselin, the 24 of
march 1993. The choice for this name was made from 110 names that were suggested.
It was a great honor and a justified recognition for the founder of the parish,
this writer, this historian and this innovator in parish library 105 years
earlier.
