Both were tortured before being killed: Jean Brebeuf died on March 16, 1649, and Gabriel Lalemant died on March 17, 1649. After the withdrawal of the Iroquois war party from the area on March 19, seven Frenchmen went to St. Ignace to retrieve the bodies of the Jesuits and Huron. They returned them to Sainte-Marie where they were buried. Their relics are now housed at the Martyrs' Shrine in Midland, Ontario. Lalemant was canonized by Pope Pius XI on June 29, 1930. His surname may be spelled either Lallemant or Lalemant by different references.
