Saint Damien
« on: February 22, 2009, 07:11:29 pm »
 A 19th-century Belgian priest who ministered to leprosy patients in Hawaii will be declared a saint Oct. 11 at a Vatican ceremony presided over by Pope Benedict XVI.

The Rev. Damien de Veuster's canonization date was set Saturday during a meeting between Benedict and cardinals at the Apostolic Palace.


What sort of thing will we do to celebrate Saint Damiens day?

The celebration of leprosy where you donate all your unwanted prosthesis to charity. Bit like a harvest destival but for old limbs.
