Hawaii
January 23 (Roman Catholic Church)
Saint Marianne Cope worked in Hawaii.
April 15 (Episcopal Church (United States))
Patronage
lepers, outcasts, those with HIV/AIDS, the Hawai?i.
When Peter Cope died in 1862, her younger siblings were of age to support themselves, so Cope left to pursue her long-felt religious calling. She entered the novitiate of the Sisters of the Third Order Regular of Saint Francis in Syracuse, New York. After a year of formation, Cope received the religious habit of the Franciscan Sisters along with the new name Marianne. She then became first a teacher and then a principal in newly established schools for the region's German-speaking immigrants.
By 1870, Cope became a member of the governing council of her religious congregation. She thus helped found the first two Catholic hospitals in Central New York, with charters stipulating that medical care was to be provided to all, regardless of race or creed. She was appointed by the Superior General to govern St. Joseph's Hospital, the first public hospital in Syracuse, from 1870 to 1877.
