List of Canadian Catholic saints and beatified people

The history of the Catholic Church in Canada extends back to the arrival of the earliest European explorers. A French priest accompanied the explorer Jacques Cartier, performing the first ever recorded Holy Mass on Canadian soil on July 7, 1534, on the shores of the Gaspé Peninsula. It was followed by deliberate conversion of the First Nations into the fold of Catholicism. Soon after, more and more religious congregations set foot in Canada especially among French-speaking present-day Quebec.
