Father Damien

 

Last week we talked about the lepers mentioned in the readings from Leviticus and the Gospel, and I mentioned Blessed Father Damien of Molokai. I also said that I THOUGHT he had been elevated to sainthood, but wasn't sure.

Turns out he will be.

It also turns out that there are only 25 lepers (leprosy is now called Hansen's Disease) left on the island, all over the age of 70. Once they die, what will happen to the island?
