Known more commonly as St. Damien of Molokai, he was a missionary of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, and he is revered primarily by Hawaiian residents and Christians for having dedicated his life in service to the lepers of Molokai in the Kingdom of Hawaii. Father Damien is the spiritual patron of lepers, outcasts, and those with HIV/AIDS, and of the State of Hawaii. This ceramic busts of the Sacred Hearts is from a home in a street in Rabat, Malta.
