Father Theodule Blais was born in 1860, ordained in 1886 and appointed pastor at St. Andrew in 1895. Born, educated and ordained in Quebec, he would have been 35 years old when he became pastor in Waterbury. There is nothing to indicate whether St. Andrew was his first appointment in the Diocese of Burlington or whether he served elsewhere. He died in 1914 ­ only 54 years old.

Father Theodule Blais appears in the St. Andrew parish register as minister for baptisms for the first time on March 10, 1895 and in the marriage register for a wedding on May 26, 1895.
