Born Jozef De Veuster, Father Damien or Saint Damien of Molokai (3 January 1840 – 15 April 1889) was a Roman Catholic priest from Belgium. He won recognition for his ministry from 1873 to 1889 in the Kingdom of Hawaii to people with leprosy, who were required to live under a government-sanctioned medical quarantine on the island of Molokai.
