Father Jacques Marquette is celebrated on May 18, which marks the anniversary of his death in 1675. In the Roman Catholic Church, particularly within the Jesuit order, he is memorialized as a dedicated missionary and explorer. Marquette does not have an official universal feast day in the Church because he has not been canonized as a saint. He is currently recognized by the Church as a "Servant of God," meaning a formal cause for his canonization is underway. The Great Lakes and the Upper Mississippi regions were explored by young Jesuit clergyman, such as Jacques Marquette, known as ‘God’s Soldiers’ who evangelized indigenous peoples throughout the vast territories of 17th century New France.
