Two Kalaupapa Tributes to the “Rising Star” – St. Marianne Cope

| 1 Comment

Friday, January 18th’s Hawaii Catholic Herald features the celebration of St. Marianne back at her Kalaupapa home.

In the first video clip, the patients and government workers of the hula halau Na Wahine o Kalawao gracefully, beautifully and prayerfully pay tribute to St. Marianne with their dance to the hymn to “Saint Marianne” composed by Patrick Downes.  In the second video clip, in his homily  Bishop Larry Silva, shares a powerful reflection on the living lesson of Saint Marianne Cope as a rising star for our example today.

  1. Sr Pat Schofield shared her impressions of the Kalaupapa events with our Secular Franciscan since she was able to go. She was very impressed by the homily.
