After attending Coll\u00e8ge Andr\u00e9-Grasset (Classical Studies from 1933 to 1941), he studied theology at the Grand S\u00e9minaire de Montr\u00e9al.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nHe was ordained to the priesthood on June 16, 1946, at Saint-Marc Parish in Rosemont, by Archbishop Joseph Charbonneau. As a member of the Society of the Priests of Saint-Sulpice, Bishop Tremblay devoted his priestly life primarily to two ministries: education and social action. From 1946 to 1958, he was a teacher at Coll\u00e8ge Andr\u00e9-Grasset. He then served as the financial administrator and a professor at the Grand S\u00e9minaire de Montr\u00e9al until 1966, during which he also taught religious studies at the Coll\u00e8ge de Montr\u00e9al for four years. In 1966, he was appointed pastor of Annonciation Parish in Oka, where he served for seven years. He then became the parochial administrator of Saint-Jacques Parish in Montreal, from 1973 to 1976. From 1970 to 1976, in addition to his work as a pastor, he also served as Second Consultor for the Sulpician Province of Canada.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nIn September 1976, Archbishop Paul Gr\u00e9goire appointed him Episcopal Vicar for the Laval Region. He was named a prelate of honour on June 9, 1978. On March 20, 1981, Pope John Paul II appointed Msgr. G\u00e9rard Tremblay the Titular Bishop of Trisipa and Auxiliary Bishop of Montreal. When Pope John Paul II accepted his resignation on Aug. 27, 1991, Bishop Tremblay assumed the title of Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus of Montreal. From 1991 to 1996, he served as superior of the S\u00e9minaire de Saint-Sulpice of Montreal, where he has resided since, continuing in active ministry until recent years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He is survived by his family, friends, brother bishops, and the members of his Sulpician family, to whom we offer&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6262,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6261","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nouvelle"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6261","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6261"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6261\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6262"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6261"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6261"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diocesemontreal.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6261"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
