8 North American Martyrs Honored 100 Years After Beatification
COMMENTARY: These great heroes planted the Gospel in North America with their blood — a legacy American Catholics should never forget.
COMMENTARY: These great heroes planted the Gospel in North America with their blood — a legacy American Catholics should never forget.
This newly designated national shrine is holy ground, witnessing to 17th-century Jesuit priests and laymen and St. Kateri Tekakwitha.
Msgr. Roger Landry, national director of the Pontifical Mission Societies and a board member of Friends of Our Lady of Martyrs, said the shrine is a place where all Catholics are confirmed in the missionary dimension of the Christian life.
Packed in a Volkswagen manned by three Jesuit priests, the relic is slowly making its way across the country.
The lay missionary and North American martyr died devoted to the Rosary and the Sign of the Cross
SAINTS & ART: Steeled by the example of these great saints, let us not be ashamed of proclaiming the name of Jesus in the public and private lives of Canada and the United States.
The upstate New York shrine is a place not just to reflect on the gift of the Holy Eucharist, but also on our response to that gift.
St. Kateri Tekakwitha is one of the most amazing saints of North America, but most people have yet to meet the real St. Kateri and how she traveled the path of holiness through her own culture and times.
COMMENTARY: There’s no better place in the United States to be formed in courage than the Shrine of Our Lady of Martyrs in Auriesville, New York.
Their causes advance in witness to their holiness.
