Marianne Cope (* 23. Januar 1838 in Heppenheim, Hessen; † 9. August 1918 in Hawaii; ursprünglich Maria Anna Barbara Koob) war eine deutschgeborene Nonne. Sie wurde am 14. Mai 2005 als die erste im Pontifikat Benedikt XVI. seliggesprochen.

Leben und Wirken
Marianne Cope wurde am 23. Januar 1838 als fünftes Kind der Eheleute Peter und Barbara Koob in Heppenheim an der Bergstraße geboren. Ihr Taufname lautete Maria Anna Barbara Koob. Die Familie wanderte 1840 in die Vereinigten Staaten, nach Utica im US-Bundesstaat New York) aus und nahm dort später den Namen Cope (als anglisierte Form des Namens Koob) an. Im Jahre 1862 trat Barbara Cope unter dem Ordensnamen Marianne in das St.-Antonius-Kloster der nordamerikanischen Franziskanerinnen ein. Sie wurde 1875 zur Oberin des St.-Joseph-Hositals in Syracuse (Staat New York) berufen. Zwei Jahre später wurde sie zur Generaloberin der Ordensprovinz gewählt. Als Marianne Cope vom Schicksal der im damaligen Königreich Hawaii lebenden Aussätzigen (Leprakranken) erfuhr, begab sie sich ihrem christlichen Gewissen folgend mit weiteren sechs Ordensschwestern und einer Laienhelferin am 23. Oktober 1883 auf die Hawaii-Insel Molokai, nachdem zuvor 50 andere Ordensgemeinschaften einen so gefährlichen Einsatz abgelehnt hatten. Ohne Furcht vor der ansteckenden tödlichen Krankheit widmete sie sich bis zu ihrem Lebensende aufopferungsvoll der Pflege der hilflosen Aussätzigen, in deren Mitte sie am 9. August 1918 im Alter von 80 Jahren verstarb. Sie selbst blieb von Lepra verschont.
Seligsprechung
Der Seligsprechungsprozess wurde auf Antrag des Dr. Ernesto Piacentini (Rom) im Jahre 1974 eingeleitet. Am 14. Mai 2005 wurde Marianne Cope zusammen mit Ascensión del Corazón de Jesús als erste im Pontifikat Benedikt XVI. seliggesprochen, nachdem zuvor schon Papst Johannes Paul II. der Seligsprechung zugestimmt hatte.
Im Dezember 2011 wurde ein Dekret des Papstes über die Anerkennung eines weiteren Wunders auf die Fürbitte Mutter Mariannes veröffentlicht; dies gilt als Etappe auf dem Weg zur Heiligsprechung.[1]

Cope was baptized Maria Anna Barbara Koob (later changed). She was born 23 January 1838 in Heppenheim in the Grand Duchy of Hesse (modern-day Germany) to Peter Koob (1787–1862) and Barbara Witzenbacher (1803–1872). The following year her family emigrated to the United States, settling in Utica, New York. They became parochial members of the Parish of St. Joseph, where Cope attended the parish school. By eighth grade, her father had become an invalid and, as the oldest child in the house, she became a factory worker to help support the family.[3] Her father later became an American citizen, which at the time granted automatic citizenship status to her entire family.
After Peter Cope's death in 1862, at which time her younger siblings were of age to support themselves, she felt sufficiently free of her family responsibilities to leave home and to pursue a religious calling she had long felt. She entered the novitiate of the Sisters of the Third Order Regular of Saint Francis based in Syracuse, New York. At the completion of her year of formation, she received the religious habit of the Franciscan Sisters along with the new name Marianne. Cope then became first a teacher and then a principal in newly-established schools for German-speaking immigrants in the region.
By 1870, she was a member of the governing Council of her congregation. In this office, she was involved in the opening of the first two Catholic hospitals in Central New York. At the time, their Charter was stipulated so that medical care was to be provided to all, regardless of race or creed. She was appointed by the Superior General to govern St. Joseph’s Hospital, the first public hospital in Syracuse, from 1870 to 1877.
During her period of hospital administration, she became involved with the move of the College of Medicine in Geneva, New York to Syracuse, where it became the Geneva Medical College. She contracted with the college to accept their students in the treatment of the hospital's patients, to further their medical education. Her stipulation in the contract—again unique for the period—was the right of the patients to refuse care by the students. These experiences helped prepare her for the special ministry that lay ahead of her.
