A monument to Belgian missionary priest Joseph De Veuster, best known to the world as Father Damien, stands in the isolated village of Kalaupapa on the island of Molokai, Hawaii, USA. It honors him for 16 years of service to the Hawaiian Islands' leper colony that was located there. When Damien arrived in 1873, he found more than 700 patients with leprosy (Hansen's disease). He later suffered the same infectious disease and died in the colony in 1889. Donated by the people of England, this memorial is a Celtic cross of granite with a portrait of Damien in white marble. It was erected in 1893, and the inscription reads: “Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. – John 15." In 2009, Father Damien was canonized a saint in the Catholic Church.
