Nothing could stop Father Isaac Jogues. When this young Jesuit was sent to Quebec, Canada, from his native France to be a missionary to the Huron people, Isaac set out with a burning desire to bring Jesus to everyone he encountered. He spent years living and working among the native populations in North America and sharing the Good News with them, and ultimately gave his life for the spread of the Gospel.
Meet Saint Isaac Jogues (1607-1646), a martyr whose love for others and courage in the face of danger helped plant the first seeds of Christianity in North America.
