Annual Martyrs Shrine Pilgrimage

Nearly four hundred years has passed since St. Jean de Brébeuf and his companions laid down their lives for the Indigenous people and the Catholic faith.

Over the centuries, many pilgrims and “malades” have visited the Shrine seeking mental and physical healing and intercession through the relics of these saints. Many prayers have been answered and their own relics left behind at the Shrine, alongside of the relics of the martyrs.

Please join the Canadian Members of the Sovereign Order of Malta, led by our Prince and Grand Master, Fra’ John T. Dunlap, in our inaugural pilgrimage to the Martyrs Shrine on Saturday, October 3rd, 2026.
