He was born in Stanfold (now called Princeville), Quebec on August 8, 1868 and was ordained as priest on August 28, 1892 after finishing his studies at seminaries in Trois-Rivières, Nicolet and Montreal, Quebec. After serving in parishes in New York City from 1892 to 1906, he was asked to found a French Canadian parish in the south-west of Saskatchewan. In 1906, he founded the town of Gravelbourg. Aiding him in his endeavors were five of his brothers, which included Henri and Maurice, both doctors; Alphonse and Emile, both lawyer; Guy, a pharmacist; plus a sister, Laurianne, the wife of Georges Hébert, also a lawyer. He persuaded many French Canadian Catholics to settle in the Gravelbourg, Lafleche, Mazenod, Meyronne bloc settlement.[1] Father Gravel died in Montreal on February 10, 1926 and was buried in Gravelbourg.[2][3] LegacyLouis-Pierre Gravel was designated a Person of National Historic Significance in 1956.[4] The inscription on a monument in Gravelbourg built in 1958 to honour him reads:{{quote|"Between 1906 and 1926 more than ten thousand Canadian citizens, many of whom were then living in the United States, answered the call of Reverend Louis-Pierre Gravel to make their homes on the broad plains of Saskatchewan where they built towns and established French-speaking cultural institutions."
