Life as a Priest and Educator
edit
Tessier was known to be very proud of his area of origin. He coined the word
Mauricie
in 1933 to designate his native area. Before then, the expression "
Saint-Maurice
Valley" had been used. Many of the movies that he produced informed the public about the area's background.
From 1925 until his death, Tessier made more than seventy non-fiction films. His favorite subjects were nature, history, religion, education and culture.
