John M. Systermans




John M. Systermans (died June 28th 1963) was born Jean-Marie Systermans but was better known as Father Henry Systermans or Pater Henri Systermans. He was a 20th century Belgian-born missionary and priest serving in Hawaii[1], most notably during the 1950's at the leper colony at Kalaupapa on Molokai. His service there followed in the tradition of fellow Belgian saint, Father Damien and his contributions were part of the research gathered by Gavan Daws for the definitive biography Holy Man: Father Damien of Molokai[2].
