Mass of Thanksgiving in Honor of Canonization of Saint Damien

A mass in celebration of the canonization of Saint Damien of Molokai (born : Jozef De Veuster) took place on Sunday, January 31, 2010 in the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception (Washington DC). The Mass was celebrated by Archbishop Pietro Sambi, apostolic nuncio to the United States, and held on World Leprosy Day. We fell like we had to be there, celebrating the Greatest Belgian ever and the only non-American with a statue on Capitol Hill. You can view the Mass HERE.
