A North American Martyrs Chaplet

A North American Martyrs Chaplet

To be recited on a Rosary, or chaplet of St. Kateri Tekakwitha, in prayerful communion with the eight Jesuit martyrs of North America who helped consecrate the continent, in their own blood, to the Holy Trinity through our Saviour Jesus Christ; eight Our Fathers, eight Hail Marys, eight Glorias.


St. Jean de Brebeuf:
"Every day from now on, with the permission of my superior, at the time of Holy Communion, I will vow to do whatever I know is for the greater glory of God and for His greater service."

- Roustang, F. "Jesuit Missionaries to North America".  Ignatius Press, 2006.  P. 174.
