Simon Gibbons (priest)
Simon Gibbons (June 21, 1851 - December 14, 1896) was Canada's first Inuit priest. The Anglican missionary constructed a number of churches in Nova Scotia.
==Early life==
Simon Gibbons is believed to have been born at Forteau, Newfoundland and Labrador, on June 21, 1851, to Thomas Gibbons, a fisherman, and an Inuit woman who died giving birth. Some stories, possibly legends later circulated by Gibbons, have him found as a child on an ice-floe off the coast of Labrador.〔 The first document about Gibbons shows him as a six-year-old child admitted to the Church of England Widows and Orphans Asylum in St John’s in 1857 upon the death of his father, along with three brothers and a sister in law.〔 Three years later, Gibbons entered a school run by the Reverend George Poulett Harris, and the promising student was also taught by a Reverend Mr Hutchinson at Tilt Cove.〔 In 1862, Gibbons was taken off the orphanage rolls, because he was taken by a clergy widow, Sophia Mountain, lady superintendent of the asylum. In 1867 she married Edward Feild, Bishop of Newfoundland. In 1875, Gibbons moved to Quebec to work as a lay reader, teacher and catechist, as well as to tutor the son of the Clarenceville rector for admission to the university. There he met Frances Eliza DuVernet, the rector's daughter, whom he would later marry.
