Engagé dans son milieu, des son arrivée en 1878, à Roberval, L’abbé Joseph-Ernest Lizotte, est un prêtre très dévoué à son ministère. Ambitieux, zélé, passionné, il élabore de nombreux et vastes projets: économique, sociaux, scolaires et éducatifs. Selon l’historien Rossel Vien, l’oeuvre du curé Lizotte, tant dans son action temporelle que par son intérêt pour la colonisation, est aussi importante que celle du célèbre curé Labelle.
Son presbytère était un rendez-vous des hommes d’affaires de la région et à juste titre, il fut désigné fondateur et bienfaiteur de Roberval.
Translated from the above noted text:
Involved in his community since his arrival in 1878 in Roberval, Father Joseph-Ernest Lizotte was a priest very devoted to his ministry. Ambitious, zealous, passionate, he developed many vast projects: economic, social, school and educational. According to historian Rossel Vien, the work of father Lizotte, both in its temporal action and in its interest in colonization, is as important as that of the famous Curé Labelle.
His presbytery was a meeting place for businessmen in the region and he was rightly designated "founder" and benefactor of Roberval.
