Students, faculty and staff at St. Joseph School in Hilo held a prayer service on Friday, Oct. 19, to honor the canonization of Mother Marianne Cope, Saint of Hawaii.
The canonization was on Sunday, Oct. 21, at the Vatican. The Hilo service began with a flag raising, singing of the “National Anthem” and “Hawaii Pono‘i” and the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by prayer and a hula in her honor.
Celebrations of the canonization of Mother Marianne Cope, who cared for exiles in Molokai with Hansen’s Disease (leprosy) for 30 years beginning in the late 1880s, continued over the weekend, with Masses in all Catholic parishes around the state.
