Casa Padre Damien (Damien House) is a hospital and ‘house of dignity’ for people who live with Hansen’s Disease (leprosy). Sr. Annie Credidio, BVM, a religious sister originally from Brooklyn, founded the hospital. RdC volunteers spend time with patients listening, talking, playing games, doing crafts, organizing events, and hosting visiting retreat groups. They also assist the Damien House in an administrative capacity, including helping to design the newsletters and providing technical support.
