Today the Church celebrates the feast of Saint Damien de Veuster. Saint Damien de Veuster, also known as Saint Damien of Molokai, was born in Belgium in 1840. He joined the Fathers of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary and became a missionary priest. He was assigned to bring the Gospel to a leper colony on the island of Molokai. He spent the rest of his life caring for the lepers on the island and eventually contracted the disease himself.
