St. Isaac Jogues: Indomitable Saint. Cari Donaldson. The life of St. Isaac Jogues is a life of large and small actions that have rippled across space and time. Born to a good, middle class family in France, Jogues grew up on reports of Jesuit missionary activities in the New World. Eventually, he found himself one of those very missionaries, as Out of love of the Native Americans Fr. Jogues begged to be sent back to Canada so that he could continue his mission of salvation and love. Eventually, a Mohawk tribe caught Fr. Isaac and killed him by a tomahawk to the head. Fr. Jean de Brebeuf spent near 24 years in Canada catechizing and baptizing the Indians. One of the eight Frenchmen known as the North American Martyrs, Isaac Jogues' first task when he arrived in Quebec in 1636, was to learn the Huron language. His teacher was Father Jean le Brebeuf, another Jesuit. Church of St. Isaac Jogues 349 Evesboro-Medford Road Marlton, New Jersey 08053 Office: 856-797-0999.
