From April 30th to May 8th, each year, we celebrate the faith of these women and men who lived the Gospel in our country, offering their lives for the founding of our Church. The theme of the 2025 novena is “A shared hope.” Let us live with the same hope that animated Saint Marie of the Incarnation, Saint Francois de Laval, Blessed Marie-Catherine of Saint-Augustine, and the Canadian Martyrs in our country.<\/p>\n
