A St. Jean de Brebeuf Chaplet, Jesuit Martyr of North America

A St. Jean de Brebeuf Chaplet, Jesuit Martyr of North America

Three Our Fathers, three Hail Marys, and three Glorias in worship of Our Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit; the Trinity for whom St. Jean de Brebeuf willingly died that the peoples of North America might come to know our Saviour Jesus Christ and live forever in Him.



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."*
