1625, he again set sail for Quebec, and built the first Jesuit house at Notre-Dame-des-Anges, Quebec. He remained there until the Surrender of Quebec of 1629 when the French clergy returned to France. He returned a third time in 1633 with Samuel de Champlain and Jean de Brébeuf. As he was in advanced in age, he lived mostly at Sillery, which he built as a reservation for the converts. He died at Sillery, and a monument was erected to his honour at this place on the site of the old Jesuit Church which stood on the bank of the Saint Lawrence River, a short distance above Quebec City. Unlike many of the Jesuits who went to New France in the seventeenth century, Massé left few written accounts of any significance. We learn about his experience at Port Royal, Nova Scotia, Acadia (present day Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia) primarily though the works of Biard and Marc Lescarbot, who wrote on behalf of Jean Biencourt and Charles Biencourt.
