'''Saint Damien of Molokai''', born '''Jozef De Veuster''' on January 3, 1840, in the City of [[Tremelo]], [[Brabant]], [[Belgium]], was a missionary priest who devoted his life to leprosy patients in the isolated Kalaupapa peninsula of Molokai, [[Hawaii]]. Joining the [[Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary]] in 1859 after training in a Seminary, he volunteered in 1873 to serve the Parish of Kalawao, a leprosy colony under the [[Diocese of Honolulu]]. Building churches and hospitals, he restored dignity to the afflicted using the [[Latin Rite]]. Contracting leprosy in 1884, he continued his work—caring for orphans and preaching—until his death on April 15, 1889, at 49. His selflessness, praised by figures like Robert Louis Stevenson, made him a global icon, akin to an [[Archbishop of Paris]] in moral stature. | '''Saint Damien of Molokai''', born '''Jozef De Veuster''' on January 3, 1840, in the City of [[Tremelo]], [[Brabant]], [[Belgium]], was a missionary priest who devoted his life to leprosy patients in the isolated Kalaupapa peninsula of Molokai, [[Hawaii]].
