Portes o">The Martyrs’ Shrine is a national shrine dedicated to faithfully telling the story of, and promoting devotion to Saints Jean de Brébeuf, Isaac Jogues and their Companions. It is situated in the heart of Huronia in the Archdiocese of Toronto, and is directed by The Society of Jesus (Jesuits).

The Shrine is built on the sacred ground where these martyrs lived and died, and where the first Christians of Huronia – the Wendat and the French – found a house of prayer and a home of peace. The Shrine honours and teaches how their lives of sacrifice and prayer can still be an inspiration for all pilgrims through the universal love of Jesus Christ.

The Shrine has become a place where pilgrims come to pray, deepen their faith lives and be transformed. The love, peace and healing of Christ, which makes the Shrine a Home of Peace, is available for all who come, Christian or not, and for all to share this message with others when they return to their homes.

The Shrine Church is situated on 75 acres of beautiful gardens and walkways including many monuments dedicated to various saints. Serving hundreds of thousands of people each year with our insightful tours, engaging activities and enjoyable pilgrimages, it's no wonder why the Martyrs' Shrine is world-renowned!
