Father Joseph Damien de Veuster, born in 1840 in Belgium, grew up in a large and devoutly Catholic family as one of seven children. His early life was marked by a strong religious influence, which inspired him to pursue a vocation in the priesthood. As a child, he exhibited a deep sense of compassion and a desire to help others, traits that would later define his missionary work among leprosy patients in Hawaii. Despite facing challenges, including a lack of formal education, he remained determined to follow his calling.
