384. North American Martyrs

October 19 is the annual feast day of the North American Martyrs.

In the United States, this feast day is celebrated on October 19 where the group is officially referred to as St. John de Brébeuf, Isaac Jogues, and Companions, but they are commonly known as the North American Martyrs.

The date of October 19 was selected because it closely follows the martyrdom date of St. Isaac Jogues, who was killed on October 18, 1646, in present-day Auriesville, New York.

Jesuit missionaries from Sainte-Marie among the Hurons were ritually tortured and killed on various dates between 1642-49 in Canada, in what is now southern Ontario, and in upstate New York, during the warfare between the Iroquioan tribes the Mohawk and the Huron.

They have subsequently been canonized and venerated as the North American martyrs by the Catholic Church (René Goupil, Isaac Jogues, Jean de Lalande, Antoine Daniel, Jean de Brébeuf, Gabriel Lalemant, Charles Garnier, Noel Chabanel).
