Guertin was the first native of New Hampshire and the first French Canadian to be appointed as bishop in the United States. He is the namesake for Bishop Guertin High School
George Albert Guertin was born on February 12, 1869, in Nashua, New Hampshire. He was the son of George Guertin and Louis Lefebvre Guertin, both of French-Canadian descent. The younger George Guertin attended publish school in Nashua, then entered the new parochial school at St. Aloysuis Parish.
Guertin first attended St. Charles College in Sherbrooke, Quebec, then enrolled at St. Hyacinthe College in Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec. Bishop Denis Bradley then sent Guertin to study theology at St. John's Seminary in Boston, Massachusetts; he was the first graduate of St. John's to become a bishop.
Guertin was ordained to the priesthood for the Diocese of Manchester by Bishop Bradley on December 17, 1892. After his ordination, he served as a curate at St. Augustine Parish in Manchester, New Hampshire. Three years and four months later, Guertin was transferred to Sacred Heart Parish in Lebanon, New Hampshire. Guertin was appointed in 1901 as pastor of St. Anthony's Church in Manchester.
On January 2, 1907, Guertin was appointed the third bishop of the Diocese of Manchester by Pope Pius X. He received his episcopal consecration on March 19, 1907, from Archbishop Diomede Falconio, with Bishops Matthew Harkins and Michael Tierney serving as co-consecrators. After his consecration, Guertin moved into the rectory at the cathedral and promised parishioners there that the parish would remain an English-speaking one. Between 1907 and 1926, Guertin added sixteen new parishes in the diocese; five were French-speaking and two were Polish-speaking. During World War I, Guertin had the diocese purchase a 5 war saving stamps for each student in the cathedral parish school.
