A martyr of North America, assistant to St. John de Brebeuf. A Jesuit from Paris, Gabriel arrived in Canada in 1646 and worked at St. Ignace Mission in 1649. On March 16, Gabriel and St. John de Brebeuf were taken prisoners by the Iroquois. They were tomahawked the next day. Both were canonized in 1930.

Very Good Reading on the saints. I was able to learn about St.Gabriel, the Archangel.
