Canadian Martyrs - October 19

The Canadian Martyrs, also known as the North American Martyrs, were eight Jesuit missionaries from Sainte-Marie among the Hurons. They were ritually tortured and killed on various dates in the mid-17th century in Canada, in what is now southern Ontario, and in upstate New York, during the warfare between the Iroquois (particularly the Mohawk people) and the Huron. They have subsequently been canonized and venerated as martyrs by the Catholic Church.
The martyrs are St. René Goupil (1642),[1] St. Isaac Jogues (1646),en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Martyrs St. Jean de Lalande (1646),en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Martyrs St. Antoine Daniel (1648),en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Martyrs St. Jean de Brébeuf (1649),en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Martyrs St. Noël Chabanel (1649),en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Martyrs St. Charles Garnier (1649),en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Martyrs and St. Gabriel Lalemant (1649).en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Martyrs
