          Diocese of Honolulu

          Aloha,

          We thank God that on July 3, 2008, the Holy Father signed a decree confirming that the healing of Audrey Toguchi from cancer was indeed a miracle performed by God through the intercession of Father Damien.

          In effect, clearing the way for Father Damien to be canonized on October 11, 2009 and declared a saint to be venerated perpetually by the universal Church.

          The Church canonizes saints to set an example for us, because we are all called to holiness.

          Our diocesan strategic plan, the Road Map for Our Mission, identifies addressing the issue of homelessness as one of its goals.

          How did st damien of molokai die

          Saint Damien addressed the very same issue in Kalaupapa. He himself built many homes for those who could not do so for themselves. We pray that Saint Damien will inspire us all to reach out to those who are most in need in our community to make a real difference in their lives, to serve them with the love of Christ.

          It is God who created the miracle of Sai
