Texts from Quebec saints and Haitian saints

As for Quebec saints, I can give the list to the Choir.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_catholic_saints_of_canada
The Canadian Martyrs also known as the North American Martyrs were eight Jesuit missionaries from Sainte-Marie among the Hurons, who were martyred in the mid-17th century in Canada and upstate New York. They comprised the six priests and two companions missioning to the Huron during colonial days of New France. Their canonizations were for having been martyred for their faith. These holy men were canonized by Pope Pius XI on June 29, 1930. Their feast day is celebrated in Canada on September 26.

For Haitian Saints, we have to do some research…it would seem more appropriate to include their words…There is an anthropological research to be made about Who Quebec Haitian revere…
