How many Jesuit priests were there in New France?
New France (French: Nouvelle-France) was the area colonized by France in North America during a period extending from the exploration of the Saint Lawrence River, by Jacques Cartier in 1534, to the cession of New France to Spain and Britain in 1763.
Four Jesuit priests came to Quebec in 1625. Although it was intended that others should follow at once, their number was not substantially increased until seven years later, when the troubles with England were brought to an end and the colony was once more securely in the hands of the French. Then the Jesuits came steadily, a few arriving with almost every ship, and either singly or together they were sent off to the Indian settlements.
More missionaries kept coming, however; the work steadily broadened; and the posts of service were multiplied. In due time the footprints of the Jesuits were everywhere, from the St. Lawrence to the Mississippi, from the tributaries of the Hudson to the regions north of the Ottawa. Priests such as: Le Jeune, Masse, Brebeuf, Lalemant, Ragueneau, Le Dablon, Jogues, Gamier, Raymbault, Peron, Moyne, Allouez, Druilletes, Chaumonot, Menard, Bressani, Daniel, Chabanel, and a hundred others were active around 1625.
The outposts in the Indian country were the chief scene of Jesuit labors from 1615 to about 1700, when the emphasis shifted to the St. Lawrence valley.

Why role did the Jesuits play in the catholic reformation?
.
Catholic AnswerThe Society of Jesus didn't really have a role at the Council of Trent, they were just getting organized as a religious order and they were concentrating on preaching and missionary work - and recruiting and training new Jesuits. The Council of Trent was composed of Bishops of the Church, at the beginning of the Council I don't think that any Jesuits had been ordained Bishops. The Jesuits primary role was after the Council as they went about putting the decrees of the Council into effect.When was the Society of Jesus founded?
How long have the Jesuits been around?
"catholic" actually means 'universal' - the entirety of the church. So in the correct meaning of the word, the catholic church has been around ever since the the Church was founded two millennia ago.
The Church in Rome was founded very early, already existing before being visited by any of the Apostles. As the heart of the Roman Empire, with a thriving Jewish community (that was exiled twice during the Apostolic era, before being allowed to return), travellers would have brought the Gospel from Judea very quickly - Jewish residents of Rome travelling to Jerusualem for Passover could well have been present at Pentecost.
Being under the direct eye of the emperor, the church in Rome was under constant threat of persecution - all of the early bishops were martyred - and seems to have been quite disorganised. Ignatius of Antioch sends a letter to the "largest of the churches in Rome", a line that was deliberately mistranslated to the "head of the churches in Rome" until recently.
The early church in Rome was well respected though; Bishop Clement of Rome wrote to the church in Corinthians a letter that is filled with holiness and is still studied by scholars and layman alike.
Unfortunately, a side effect of the persecution of Christians was that genuine criminals who had been branded, maimed or otherwise obviously marked as criminals, would 'convert' to Christianity in the hope that their punishments would be mistaken for proof that they had suffered for the faith. These scoundrels caused numerous problems for the church for over two hundred years, culminating in AD 366 in a violent attack when Damasus claimed the title of Bishop of Rome, driving Ursinus (a deacon in service to the previous Bishop, and the claimant elected by the common people) out of the city and killing many of his supporters. The riots and fighting resulted in the eventual decision to forbid the laity from voting; Damasus' claim to higher status than other bishops was lambasted by the scholar Jerome. However, by shrewd politicking Damasus secured the support of the emperor and by loudly opposing the major heresy of the day (Arianism) gained the grudging acceptance. Modern Roman Catholicism dates from Damasus, despite several breaks in the papal chain since.
How did the Jesuits propose stop ping the spread of protestants beliefs?

When did Jesuit priests settle in New France?
Why did Jesuits burn down sault ste Marie among the Hurons?
Your question has a number of problems in it. First, it was the Ojibwe (Chippewa) who populated the area and not the Hurons. Father Jacques Marquette was a Jesuit, but he founded a number villages during his travels (especially in Michigan). I've never heard of the Jesuits burning down Sault Ste Marie, so that is news to me. Granted, the Jesuits can be brutish and intolerant, but arson is not something with which I've heard connected in Michigan.
What is the Council Of Trent And The Jesuits?
