Much care and labor has been given by
many generations of Jesuit priests to
collect the data relating to the stay of
the two courageous priests among the
Indians and concerning all the incidents
leading up to their deaths. These rec
ords go back to the time when the
League Of the Five Nations of the Iro-
quois Indians-the Mohawks, the Onei-
das, the Onondagas, the Cayugas and
the Senecas-held undisputed sway oveI
the country between the Mohawk and
the Genesee. On August A. 1912, Father
Isaac Jogues, Rene Goupil and William
Couture, with several Christian Hur-
ons, were brought to Ossernon (Auries-
ville), having been taken captive while
carrying supplies from Quebec to the
Huron mission. The savages, young
and old of both sexes, were waiting
along the bank and upon the hill, rang

that the day of this great JOY of heaven
would be for us a day of sorrow, and I

Rene fell beneath the heavy blows, and
1t was necessary to carry him to the plat
form in the village, where the public tor
ture was to be inflicted. He was so
bruised and covered with blood that
Father Jogues declared that there were
no white spots left on him except the
whites of the eyes.

that nearly 80, 900 pilgrims will have wor-
SHIPPED at the shrine.
This shrine is known as the Queen
of Martyrs" in memory of a Mohawk
Indian girl named Catherine Tegak-
witha, and known among her people as
the Lilly Of the Mohawks." But the es-
tablishing Of the shrine was not due so
much to the Indian girl as it was to two
Jesuit priests, Father Isaac Jogues and
Father Rene Goupil. who were put to a
horribly cruel death by the Indians while
laboring to Christianize them. Within
q short time these two priests and the
Indian girl will be placed upon the cal
endar of saints. An appeal for their
beatification was made year ago by the
Society of Jesus to the holy see, and
unanimous consent was given by the
fathers Of the council
Another reason for the great increase
IN the pilgrimages this year Is that Oc-
tober 18 will be the two hundred and fif-
tieth anniversary of the death of Father
Jogues, he having been struck down by
the Mohawks on that date in 1916. The
enrlne was only established in 1884 by
the Society of Jesus, and outside Of
cnurch circles. it attracted little or no
sttentlon until the past year or two.
