Description

Isaac Jogues and his fellow missionaries arrived in the New World in 1636 with a mission to convert Native Americans to Christianity. The wilderness was dangerous and mysterious, filled with many challenges. But Jogues was determined to spread the word of God, and he persevered through many hardships.


Jogues was born in Orleans, France, in 1607. He was a gifted teacher and an ordained priest, and he longed to serve as a missionary in New France. When he was assigned to a mission in southern Ontario, he was overjoyed. He knew it would be a difficult and demanding post, but he was eager to begin his work.


However, Jogues's missionary work was not easy. He was captured by a Mohawk tribe and tortured for a year before he was able to escape. Despite the danger, Jogues insisted on returning to his overseas ministry to continue his work. Sadly, he eventually gave his life for the sake of planting the seed of Christianity in the New World.


Today, the story of Isaac Jogues serves as a powerful reminder of the bravery and sacrifice of early Christian missionaries and the important role they played in shaping the history of the Americas.
