Martyrs’ Shrine re-opens for 2009 summer season on Sat. May 16, 2009
From Highway 12, twin spires above the tree line mark this landmark church erected in 1926 to honour “Canadian Martyrs”. Inside are traditional Stations of the Cross, statues, icons and relics; but the immediate impression is that you have entered a Huron longhouse of the 17th century.
