GOFFIN, Rodolphe (1890- )

Rodolphe Goffin and his partner, Anselme Delwaide, immigrated to Quebec from Belgium in 1914. Their work includes Monument des Vingt-et-Un, based on sketches by architect Armand Gravel, which commemorates the arrival at Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean of the fourteen pioneers belonging to the Société des Vingt-et-Un. They also completed the Stations of the Cross (1919-1925), featuring forty-three figures carved in limestone, at Ermitage Saint-Antoine in Lac-Bouchette, and the Chicoutimi cathedral pediment in honour of Saint Francis-Xavier, patron and missionary of the church, diocese and parish.
