Martyr's Shrine

In Ontario, Canada, just east of Midland, on Highway 12, twin spires rising above the treeline welcome visitors to historic Martyrs' Shrine. The Shrine honours the eight Jesuit saints who lived, worked and died here some 380 years ago. The grounds, including the famous Shrine Church and 75 pleasantly landscaped acres, invite you into prayer and tranquility. Come and learn about the Jesuit missionaries, Jean de Brébeuf, Gabriel Lalemant, and their companions who were responsible for bringing Christianity to Canada over 380 years ago!
