Feast of St. Marianne Cope (d 1918), a Franciscan sister who volunteered to serve the lepers in Hawaii. On Molokai, where the most serious cases were confined, her first task was to care for St. Damien de Veuster, who had succumbed to the disease during his long years of work.

"What little good we can do in this world to help and comfort the suffering, we wish to do it quietly and so far as possible unnoticed and unknown."--St. Marianne Cope
