Our “Solidarity in of the Sisters of Marie Reparatrice Faith” endeavor will provide concrete ways for American Born Saints-Part 3 Two more American-Born Servants of God may soon be designated Venerable and closer to becoming canonized. Servant of God Emil Kapaun Fr. Emil Kapaun was born on a farm in Kansas in 1916, was ordained a priest in 1940, and entered the U.S. Army Chaplain Corps in 1944. He served in WWII, then again in the Korean War when he was taken prisoner and died in a POW Camp. He was sometimes called the Good Thief because he would steal coffee, tea, and a pot to heat them in from the guards at the POW camp and would also help smuggle dysentery drugs to the doctor. Fr. Kapaun died of malnutrition and pneumonia in the camp in 1951 and was buried in a mass grave near the Yalu River. In 2013, he was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions in Korea. “When I was ordained, I was determined to ‘spend myself’ for God. I was determined to do that cheerfully, no matter in what circumstances I would be placed or how hard a life I would be asked to lead.” -Fr. Kapaun to his bishop in 1944. Servant of God, Rose Hawthorne Lathrop (Mother Mary Alphonsa) Rose Hawthorne was born in Massachusetts, the third daughter of the great American writer, Nathaniel Hawthorne. Nathaniel died when she was 13, and her mother died a few years later. At age 20, she married George Parsons Lathrop. They had a son who died at the age of 5 from diphtheria, and their marriage broke up soon afterward due to George’s alcoholism. He died a few years later from cirrhosis. Alone, Rose served alongside the Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent DePaul. She was inspired by their motto, “I am for God and for the poor.” She obtained her nursing degree and became a Dominican tertiary known as Mother Mary Alphonsa. She founded an order in December 1900 now known as the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne. She died in her sleep on July 9, 1926 at the motherhouse of her congregation at age 75. “I am trying to serve the poor as a servant. I wish to serve the cancerous poor because they are more avoided than any other class of sufferers; and I wish to go to them as a poor creature myself.” Rose Hawthorne Judy Pearson .
