Father Damien, also known as Saint Damien of Molokai, was a Belgian priest of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary. He is best known for his work with individuals affected by leprosy on the Hawaiian island of Molokai in the late 19th century. He dedicated his life to caring for the sick and marginalized, ultimately contracting the disease himself. Canonized as a saint by the Catholic Church in 2009, he is remembered for his compassion and selflessness.
