About
It was said that he was a simple man and that as bishop, he discharged the duties of parish priest by hearing confession in his cathedral and visiting the sick. He stayed in touch with his diocese, toured it regularly, and made himself available to the people of the parishes.
Two municipalities in Quebec, Saint-Bruno-de-Guigues and Saint-Eugène-de-Guigues, are named after him.
