Here's another possible lead on the name, it could be Saint Columb de Sillery again near Quebec City:

If I had to guess this is about this area today:

http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Bergerville,+Qu%C3%A9bec&sll=46.778081,-71.235523&sspn=0.065245,0.197754&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Bergerville,+Communaut%C3%A9-Urbaine-de-Qu%C3%A9bec,+Quebec&ll=46.777346,-71.250544&spn=0.016311,0.049438&t=h&z=15

The church goes by the name St Michel de Sillery today but the term Paroisse St-Colomb de Sillery was indeed an area not unlike a Parish area in New Orleans for example.
