|
| Sainte-Marie Among the Hurons was a Roman Catholic mission that worked among the Huron, near modern Midland, Ontario, Canada. Begun in 1615 by the Recollets, it was renewed in 1634 by the Jesuits with the arrival of 3 priests led by Superior Jean de Brebeuf and assisted by 5 domestics. In 1638 Jerome Lalemant arrived as the new superior. By 1639 there were 13 fathers active among the Huron and Petun. Lalemant planned an agriculturally self-sufficient, fortified missionary centre, centrally located in Huronia, with easy access to the canoe route to Quebec. It was to become the nucleus of a Huron Christian community. |
