One of the first stops on our pilgrimage was at Blessed Mother Marianne Cope's grave site. Mother Marianne Cope nor the sisters ever contracted Hansen's Disease even though they were in constant contact with the patients. She died in her sleep after suffering a heart attack. She her wish was to be buried on Kalaupapa.

Thanks so much for sharing these pictures! Those mountains and chapel at Molokai are just how I pictured it. What a wonderful pilgrimage to make!
