Father Alexandre Morard is a swiss citizen and a catholic priest of the Sacerdotal Molokai Fraternity (Fraternité Sacerdotale Molokaï).  The mem­bers of the Sacerdotal “Molokai” Fraternity live their priest­hood as a ser­vice to the voca­tion of the lay faithful to holi­ness and according to Heart’s Home charism of Compassion. The Society of Apostolic Life “Molokai” is gov­erned by its own statutes. It has been placed under the patronage of Father Damien or Saint Damien of Molokai, SS.CC. or Saint Damien de Veuster known as the Apostle of the leper in Molokai (an island in the Hawaiian archipelago).
