The life of Blessed Marianne Cope, who brought the Sisters of St. Francis to Hawai'i 125 years ago, will be celebrated at a free Royal Hawaiian Band concert 5:30 p.m. Aug. 9 at Kapolei Hale, 1000 Uluohia St.

The event, which will be held on the 90th anniversary of her death, includes "The Ode to St. Anne," a piece that the Royal Hawaiian Band premiered in 1917, presented to Mother Marianne and her patroness, St. Anne. It was written by Capt. Henry Berger (who also wrote "The Mother Marianne Hymn").

Blessed Marianne, who is on the path to sainthood, died Aug. 9, 1918 at age 80 after spending 30 years ministering to Hansen's disease patients at Kalaupapa.
