Gabriel Lalemant was a priest, Jesuit, and missionary. Nephew of the jesuit missionaries Charles Lalemant and Jérôme Lalemant. He joined the Jesuits in 1632. Lalemant arrived in New France in 1646. He served as assistant to Father Jean de Brebeuf, then was posted to the mission Sainte-Mary among the Hurons. In 1649 he replaced Noel Chabanel at the mission of St. Louis. That March, he and Brebeuf were captured by Iroquois and taken to the nearby mission at Saint Ignace where they were tortured. Lalement was killed on 17 March 1649.
Les martyrs canadiens étaient huit missionnaires jésuites à Sainte-Marie-au-pays-des-Hurons, qui furent tués au XVIIe siècle au Canada. Ils furent tués lors des guerres entre les Hurons et les Iroquois. Ces saints catholiques sont liturgiquement commémorés le 19 octobre par l'Église catholique, ou le 26 septembre au Canada. Les huit martyrs canadiens sont : Jean de Brébeuf, Noël Chabanel, Antoine Daniel, Charles Garnier, René Goupil, Jean de Lalande, Gabriel Lalemant et Isaac Jogues. Les martyrs canadiens furent canonisés par le pape Pie XI en 1930.
Ils sont collectivement des saints patrons secondaires du Canada. La paroisse francophone de Saskatoon en Saskatchewan est également placée sous la protection des saints martyrs canadiens, tout comme celle de Pont-Landry (Nouveau-Brunswick).
