This paper addresses the Canon Charles Vincart’s missionary performance in
the first years of Montes Claros’ diocese. It intends to analyze his actions in
Montes Claros city, his relationship with the other members of the Premonstratensian
Order that also lived in Northern Minas Gerais and, especially,
with the bishop D. João Antônio Pimenta, as well. Besides, we’ll introduce
the obstacles suffered by the Norbertine Canon, Charles Vincart, in his missionary
performance in the countryside of the Northern Minas Gerais
(1903 - 1917). As a parish priest, he was accused by disarranging the Norbertine’s
mission in the Minas Gerais’ countryside due to his “hard and annoying
profileâ€.
