Blair,
I would be happy to look at those records for you.
It was quite common for one priest to fill in for another when needed. Sometimes the records are recorded in both sets of parish registers ... where the event took place and in the visiting priest's own registers (I guess so he knew where he was and what he did). Sometimes they didn't make it easy for us to figure out!
Taking three semesters of college French really helped me a lot. It really helps with sentence structure since French is quite different than English. It also helped me a lot with being able to identify the root verbs by knowing how the verbs are conjugated.
I sometimes use the online tranlators and get the biggest kick out of how some of them translate. I figure I do better on my own most of the time, but if I have something that is really confusing me, I'll try the translators just to see what they come up with. When I get really stumped, I sometimes turn to my "human French dictionary", a French-speaking friend of mine who lives in Montreal.
I'll be looking for your e-mail with the records you want me to look at.

Denise,
Again thanks, you've been a great help!
What great foresight by the Priests!
I figured I had "Recollet" wrong. that's what I get for depending on
Google translate. I need to take a course in French although I have
managed to learn a few words after reading so many of these records.
Trying to figure out what they say is half the fun though...
Your thoughts on maybe a different Priest filling in does make sense.
I guess I'll put down Trois-Rivieres as their birth place.
To be sure though, would you mind if I sent you the records for Joseph
Lemire to review? I have one from Ancestry.com and two from the LDS
sight. The birth dates and Baptism dates have me a bit confused. I
really only worry about him since he's in my line.
Take care,
Blair

I've found such entries many times in my own research.
