Informations supplémentaires

A large contemporary bronze statue of Belgian missionary priest Joseph De Veuster, best known to the world as Father Damien, stands at the entrance to the Hawaii State Capitol in Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii, USA. The sculpture honors him for 16 years of service to Hawaii's leper colony on the island of Molokai. More than 700 patients with leprosy (Hansen's disease) had been isolated there by the time Damien arrived in 1873. He later suffered the same infectious disease and died in the colony in 1889. In 2009, Father Damien was canonized a saint in the Catholic Church. Hawaii celebrates Father Damien Day every year on April 15.
