Enter into the rich history of the Mother of God’s role in Canada’s beginnings and grow with the deep faith of the pioneers and saints who loved her...
Underlying Canada’s history as a nation from its earliest beginnings, like a hidden stream, giving it spiritual life and sustenance, has been the incomparable influence of the Mother of God. For early settlers and pioneers, Canada was the physical gateway to a new life and fresh beginnings. Touched by grace, they turned with yearning and devotion to Mary as the spiritual gateway to her Son.
Discover Mary’s role in Canada’s beginnings; read about men and women pioneers who were deeply given to her:
- The Jesuit Canadian martyrs;
- Holy native Catholics like Blessed Kateri Tekekwitha and Joseph Chiwatenha;
- Jeanne Mance, Jeanne le Ber, Blessed Marie of the Incarnation, Blessed Catherine of St. Augustine, St. Marguerite Bourgeois, St. Marguerite D’Youville, Blessed Marie-Rose Durocher, Elizabeth Turgeon, Marie Fitzbach and Blessed Bishop Laval.
Hear about known and little-known Marian shrines and Marian Sources of the Canadian Church.
Father Émile Brière, a priest of Madonna House, has written a unique account of Our Lady’s role in the shaping of Canada as a Christian nation. He also offers a simple and effective blueprint for the restoration of all things to her Son in the new millenium.
Reviews
“I read it all in one sitting the night it arrived—AWESOME!” — Jane Flower, Atlanta, Georgia
“The heart of this book is the dazzling array of the lives of the ‘saints’ who founded and formed the nation of Canada. These concise but authentic biographies and stories show the astounding faith and enthusiasm which inspired men and women from all classes to follow God's plan under Mary's guidance. Their witness to the power of Mary working through them to evangelize Canada is overwhelming. I just love the book!” — Lettie Morse, former president of REAL Women of Canada
