Birth Date 1593 Birthplace Condé-sur-Vire, Normandy, France Death Date 1649 Place of Death Saint-Ignace, Midland, Ontario, Canada Occupation Priest; Jesuit: founder of the Huron Mission Languages Spoken or Written French; Huron (Wyandot); Spanish; Portuguese; Italian: Romanian; Catalan Biographical Text Born in France, de Brébeuf entered the Jesuit noviciate when he was 24 years old. Because of his aptitude for languages (de Brebeuf was highly educated in the Romance languages), he was chosen for the missions in New France in 1625 and set sail in April of that year. De Brébeuf spent most of his time in the New World among the Hurons and would later establish a mission in Huron country which is today known as Sainte-Marie Among the Hurons. Unbeknownst to him, de Brébeuf would spend the rest of his life in Huron country as he arrived during the middle of a conflict between the Huron and the Iroquois. De Brébeuf would ultimately meet his end in 1649 at the hands of the Iroquois and would subsequently become a martyr as well as the patron saint of Canada.
