Blessed Memorial of St. Isaac Jogues and Companions! In 1642, a group of Jesuit missionaries were ministering to the Huron tribe in southeastern Canada. The tribe had little food and clothing so Jogues, Goupil, and others travelled to Quebec for supplies. On their return, they were attacked by the rival Iroqouis tribe. The missionaries and Huron converts were captured, tortured, and eventually martyred. The first of which was St. René Goupil, who was killed with a tomahawk for making the Sign of the Cross and blessing a child. Likewise, a few weeks later, St. Isaac Jogues was also killed by tomahawk. Their feast day is celebrated on September 26 in Canada and October 19 in the United States.
