Father Jacques settled in Michigan primarily for missionary work among Native American tribes. He was drawn to the region's potential for evangelization and the opportunity to establish a Catholic presence in the area. Additionally, the rich Natural Resources and strategic location of Michigan made it an appealing place for furthering his religious and community efforts. His commitment to fostering relationships with local tribes was a significant aspect of his mission.
