to Honolulu. Upset by the pitiful plight of the lepers, who were shipped off to Molokai and then
ignored, he volunteered to be their spiritual leader and was soon living and working alongside
them. He eventually succumbed to leprosy himself, but not before making a better life for his
ailing parishioners.
