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.

What is a priests most prized possessions?
If you are referring to our present pope, Pope Francis does not seem to be very materialistic and prefers to avoid all the fancy trappings and privileges of the papacy. He wears simplified vestments and has said he would prefer to live in a small Vatican apartment rather than in the Papal Apartments of the Vatican's Apostolic Palace. It is doubtful, then, that he has stored up any earthy treasures. It may come out sometime that he has some item from earlier in his life that he holds as precious, however. He follows the example set by his namesake - St. Francis of Assisi.
However, he does have one thing he holds as special. Here it is in his own words:
"In my breviary I have the last will of my grandmother Rosa, and I read it often. For me it is like a prayer. She is a saint who has suffered so much, also spiritually, and yet always went forward with courage."

There were many different types of priest and priestess in ancient Egypt, with a strict system of ranks and responsibilities.
Unlike Christian priests, their job was not to preach or to influence the minds of ordinary people - they simply existed to serve the gods in different ways. In effect, the priests gave offerings to the gods on behalf of Pharaoh, who could not cope alone with the sheer number of offerings required.
The basic requirement for a novice priest was circumcision. The entire body must then be shaved and kept permanently free of all hair, including having the eyebrows and lashes removed regularly. Priests were forbidden certain foods, including beef, pork, mutton, pigeon, fish, beans, garlic and all green stuff. The point of all of this was for a priest to be completely "clean" in a religious sense - the general term for a low-ranking priest was wb, meaning purified.
Clothing had to be made from clean, fine linen and cut according to ancient patterns; on their feet they always wore white sandals. Higher ranks of priest wore special items such as a ribbon across the chest, a leopard-skin, a special necklace or a long fake plait attached to the bald head. Lector-priests wore two large feathers attached to their heads.
Some priestesses served as temple musicians, singers and dancers.

What is the job of a castle priest?
There are no castle priests anymore. I am assuming you mean a castle in medieval Europe, it doesn't matter, a priest's job has always been to administer the sacraments, to celebrate Mass, to hear confessions, to baptize, to witness marriages, to anoint the sick, etc. It has been that way since Our Blessed Lord appointed the first twelve as Bishops, and it will that way until the end of the world. A castle priest just performed his priestly duties in a castle, that's all.

What jobs do priests do in medieval England?
Priests usually worked in churches in villages, town, or cities. They tended to the spiritual well being of the people in the congregations of the churches. They baptized, said mass, gave religious instruction, performed unction, and said prayers for people as needed. They consoled people in distress, and performed works of charity where they could. They could have been called on to do other things, including write letters or other documents for people who were illiterate.
What are the priests of the Israelites called?
Priests come from the tribe of Levi [pronounced lay-vee].
Originally, the first born males from all 12 tribes were to be Cohanim [pronounced co-ha-neem, plural]. However, during the incident of the golden calf during the exodus from Egypt, not a single male from the tribe of Levi participated in this idolatry while males from the 11 other tribes did. As a result, HaShem (The Creator) deemed only the Levi males to be fit for priesthood.
Today, there is no high priest and priests, however, men who come from the Cohan lineage do have special roles in religious services.
