Sainte-Marie among the Hurons
|
Ontario’s first European Community, Sainte-Marie among the Hurons was the headquarters for the French Jesuit Mission to the Huron Wendat people. In 1639, the Jesuits, along with French lay workers, began construction of a fenced community that included barracks, a church, workshops, residences, and a sheltered area for Native visitors. This today is known as Sainte-Marie among the Hurons.
Located near Midland in the beautiful Southern Georgian Bay area, this world-renowned reconstruction illustrates the interaction of the French and Wendat nations. |
Martyr Shrine
|
The Martyr's Shrine is one of 9 national shrines in Canada and the only national shrine outside of Quebec. It is consecrated to the memory of the Canadian Martyrs, six Jesuit Martyrs and two lay persons from the mission of Sainte-Marie among the Hurons.
The shrine also participates in the Sainte-Marie's First Light celebrations by lighting up the impressive church and their grounds. Free shuttle buses are available all evening to transport you to and from St. Marie Among The Hurons. |
