This little webpage
features my trip to Rome
for the canonization of
Father Damien on the
12th. of October 2009.


I had the honor and the

pleasure to create a portrait
of Saint Damien which was
officially used for praying
cards, posters and served
as reference for the making
of medaillons, coins and
keyrings.


Due to this work my wife and
I spend the days in Rome at
the Generalate of the
Congregation of the Sacred
Hearts of Jesus and Mary.


With this website we would like
to express our thanks and the
joy we experienced beeing
there and which we would
like to share with you!!!


 

Welcome!!!

Father Damien or Saint Damien of Molokai, ss.cc.

January 3, 1840 – April 15, 1889,

born Jozef De Veuster, was a Roman Catholic priest from Belgium and member of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, a missionary religious order.


He won recognition for his ministry 
to people with leprosy (also known 
as Hansen's disease), who had been
  placed under a government-
   sanctioned medical quarantine on the island of Molokai in the
Kingdom of Hawaii.
