We are Canadian Martyrs Roman Catholic Parish and Saint Kateri University Catholic Chaplaincy, a vibrant and welcoming faith community located in Hamilton’s West End across from McMaster University and Children’s Hospital. Our community committed to the mission of Inviting, Forming, and Sending… disciples of Jesus Christ.

We strive to create a space where everyone can encounter God and grow in faith. We offer a variety of programs and events to help individuals and families deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ and his church. Our chaplaincy provides opportunities for students to explore and deepen their faith, connect with other students, and receive spiritual support during their university journey.

We believe that everyone has a unique and important role to play in building the Kingdom of God, and we are committed to equipping and empowering you to live out your faith in the world.

We invite you to join us in our mission to be disciples of Jesus Christ and to help build a world that reflects God’s love and mercy. Come visit us and experience the warmth, hospitality, and joy of our faith community.

Prayer to the
Canadian Martyrs

O God, who by the preaching of
and blood of your sainted Martyrs, Isaac and John and their companions, did consecrate the first fruits of the Faith in the vast regions of North America, graciously grant that, by their intercession, the flourishing harvest of Christians may everywhere and always be increased. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with You, in the union of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and forever. Amen.

Recognizing the Canadian Martyrs as our patron saints is not meant to diminish the truth and reconciliation process or the ongoing efforts toward decolonization and healing. As a society, it is crucial to continue to listen, learn, and engage in respectful dialogue with Indigenous communities in order to create a more just and equitable future for all.
