Popularly known as Father Damien, St. Damien de Veuster was a nineteenth-century Belgian missionary to Hawai'i. He volunteered to be sent to Molokai, where lepers were quarantined. He himself caught the disease, and died in 1889, at the age of 49. He was beatified in 1995 and became a canonized saint in the Catholic Church in 2009.
