Saint Francois de Laval -
​May 6 (1623-1708)
Francois de Montmorency Laval was the first bishop of Quebec city.  Born in France to a noble family, he was educated by the Jesuits and ordained in 1647.  He founded the Seminary of Quebec, now Laval University to supply priests for his vast diocese, which extended to all French speaking territory of North America.  Francois was an outstanding educator and administrator, a generous benefactor, a caring bishop and a pious man whose spiritual influence was widespread.  He well deserved his title of “Pere de la Patrie” (Father of the Homeland) and was canonized in 2014.  He is the patron of the Bishops of Canada.

St. Joseph the Worker - 1 May 2019      Ask that our workers on the Shrine be safe and inspired.
