HONOLULU -- Hawaii will soon have another Catholic Saint as Pope Benedict XVI announced the date of Mother Marianne Cope's canonization.

----------

Mother Marianne will be canonized along with six others on Oct. 21st.

Cope came to Hawaii to help care for people with Hansen's disease. After Father Damien's death, she carried on his work on Kalaupapa.
