Canadian Martyrs Relic Tour

The major relics of the Canadian Martyrs—including the skull of St. Jean de Brébeuf and bones of St. Charles Garnier and St. Gabriel Lalemant—are traveling across Canada for the first time. They will be joined by a relic of St. Kateri Tekakwitha, the first Indigenous North American saint.

We invite you to visit Notre Dame Cathedral in Ottawa on Friday, March 28, 2025, between 3:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m., with Mass at 6:00 p.m celebrated by Archbishop Damphousse. You are welcome to come at any time during the event to venerate the relics and seek the intercession of these great saints!
