Martyrs Shrine
“For this one single occasion, I would travel all the way from France; I would cross the great ocean to win one little soul for Our Lord!”
– St. Jean de Brebeuf
This Summer is the time to walk in the footsteps of those who brought the faith to Canada.
July 16th – August 5th
Location: Martyrs’ Shrine, Midland, Ontario
What’s included: Accommodation at the Shrine, meals, transportation during, project materials
The Martyrs’ Shrine is the National Shrine dedicated to the Canadian Martyrs, located in Midland, Ontario. The Shrine honours the eight Jesuit Saints who lived, worked, and died over 350 years ago so that people could know Jesus in Canada. We will live at the Shrine and meet daily with people from all over the world travelling here (some days with thousands of people). You will work alongside other students and CCO staff sharing the Gospel, praying with people, running events, and even leading tours around the Shrine.
Just as the Martyrs left a legacy in Canada by sharing their faith, come and leave a legacy this summer.
Any non designated gifts will be provided for students with the largest financial needs.
