Baptism
At Friday’s gathering, Monseigneur will baptise an Amerindian and some vile characters seeking redemption, plus a young baby, carrying on a grand New France tradition. Would you agree to be the Godfather or Godmother to any of these newly baptised characters?

Blessing of the big bellies
The children waiting to be born are the cornerstones upon which New France will be built.

Marriage
Grand premiere: Sieur de Champlain himself will officiate a real marriage, to which the whole colony is invited. A pair of funny coureurs des bois had been planning to get married, but an objection prevented this union. Our real marriage, between the lovely Alexandra and Sébastien the soldier, will be followed by a big uproar: a wild procession to heckle and tease the newlyweds all the way to Place de Paris, where the UPA will raise a toast to them and Auberge Boisvin will host the wedding reception.

Strange Funeral
The psychic from the Larue family predicted her own death this Sunday between none and vespers (about 3:30 p.m.). Will we attend the funeral? Will the doctor suspect a new outbreak of the plague and take the crowd hostage?
