The blessedness of Mother Marianne Cope who

Letters are a fascinating way of telling a story and sharing the journey of a life. In her book, “Letters From the Land of Long Farewells,” Sister Wilma Halmasy tells of the daily life of the Sisters of St. Francis and the patients at the settlement of Kalaupapa, Molokai in Hawaii where those
suffering from leprosy lived in isolation from 1866 to 1949.
Sister Wilma spent 30 years in Kalaupapa following
in the footsteps of Blessed Mother Marianne Cope and St.
Damien de Veuster. This book is a delightful depiction of
how Sister Wilma handled both distressful and sometimes
amusing situations. You will be inspired, not only by her
courage, but also by the courage of those serving with her
on the isolated Kalaupapa peninsula. Photos capture the
beauty of the island and the life of the sisters.
Cost: $20 |
