# 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](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_catholic_saints_of_canada)

The [Canadian Martyrs](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Martyrs "Canadian Martyrs") also known as the [North American Martyrs](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Martyrs "North American Martyrs") were eight Jesuit missionaries from [Sainte-Marie among the Hurons](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sainte-Marie_among_the_Hurons "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](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_France "New France"). Their canonizations were for having been martyred for their faith. These holy men were canonized by [Pope Pius XI](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Pius_XI "Pope Pius XI") on June 29, 1930. Their feast day is celebrated in Canada on September 26.
