Gandougarae

Near this spot stood a village of Huron Christians who were captives of the Senecas. Here in 1656 Father Chaumonot said, "Myself I gave as a guarantee of the truth I preach." In a new chapel dedicated Nov. 3, 1669, Father Fremin said, "I beseech you, open your eyes to the truth, acknowledge the God of heaven and Earth, renounce everything that displeases him, render yourselves by a constant fidelity, worthy of an everlasting happiness." Father Garnier also ministered here, and James Atondo and Francis Tehoronionga were exemplary members of St. Michael's flock.
