Now you can own copies of the locally produced PBS Hawaii TV programs that were broadcast last
lmonth during the week of the canonization of Saint Damien.
Go to the weblink below and contribute to this noncommercial public television station. Three of the six programs
were shot on location in Kalaupapa, Molokai, where the Belgian priest once ministered to the spiritual and physical welfare of people who had leprosy. Today the tiny settlement is home to fewer than 20 remaining individuals who contracted leprosy before there was effective treatment. One was banished to the peninsula when he was only five years old. All were separated from the public for years before the leprosy quarantine law was lifted in Hawaii in the 1960s.
