Great Canadian Catholics

Here's an intriguing website: CCHeritage: Dedicated to Canada's Christian Heritage.

This site features biographies of some of the giants of 17th century Canada who were affiliated with the French revival of that era:

Jean de Brébeuf, missionary to the Hurons, martyr, and patron saint of Canada;

Marie Guyart de l’Incarnation

Jeanne Mance

Paul de Chomedey de Maisonneuve

Marguerite Bourgeoys

and in the 20th century:

Georges and Pauline Vanier.

Unfortunately, many of the other biographies are not currently available.

Ahhh...it's good to see your back again.

What happened?

For a couple of days, all I got was a request to sign in with a user name and password whenever I tried to access this blog or the siena.org site.

It's sometimes good to know that you were missed.

PS: No need to answer... I just needed to read on further in the blog. (That's one thing I dislike about blogs--I have to turn my computer screen upside down in order to read things in their chronological order[G])

What no biography of Blessed Kateri or Catherine de Hueck Doherty? How could Canada do without them?
