Dublin: Mozlink leaves for the canonisation in Rome tomorrow Saturday. Will be back on Tuesday to bring you the latest updates if I am unable to find the time to do some uploading while I am away. Remember to pray these days of canonisation, for the people today who are suffering in numerous Molokai's throughout the world.

Fr. Damien, born 1840 in Tremeloo, Belgium. He joined the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts volunteering for the mission to the Hawaiian Islands. In 1873 he went to work as a priest in a leper colony on the island of Molokai. He died from leprosy in 1889 aged 49. The testimony of the life he lived among the lepers of Molokai led to an intensive study of Hansens disease, eventually leading to a cure. Pope John Paul II beatified Damien in 1995. He was named a saint on Oct 11th 2009.

I wish I was going too. Wonderful to have this canonisation in the Year for Priests.
Safe journey.
I cannot wait to hear about your trip. My brother is there too and we are both from Molokai. I have your link on my Damien of Molokai blog, so I hope folks are linking through to you.
Thanks for this blog!
Have a wonderful time! How do I contact you in e-mail to send you a link?
