Message from the Director

Welcome Pilgrim

For almost a century, our journey here with St. Jean de Brébeuf and his companions has brought millions of pilgrims to moments of prayer, healing, and fellowship. We invite you to join us on that journey of love and discovery as together we seek a deeper union with Jesus Christ.

Canada's Early Church

Discover how the story of Martyrs' Shrine is actually an integral part of our collective history as Canadians. Learn about the Martyrs and their relations with the Indigenous peoples of the 17th century.

Plan Your Trip

Every pilgrimage requires preparation. Whether you are coming as part of a group, with your family, or in solitude, let us help you to plan your visit.
