and the Diocese of Syracuse. After the announcement by the Holy See of her impending beatification, during January 2005, Cope's remains were moved to the motherhouse of the congregation in Syracuse. A temporary shrine was established to honor her. By 2009, the erection of a marble sarcophagus in the motherhouse chapel was complete. Her remains were interred in the new shrine on her feast day of January 23. In 2007, a statue of her was erected at St Joseph's Church in her native Utica, whose parish school she had attended in her childhood. Canonization On December 6, 2011, the Congregation for the Causes of Saints found that a second miracle could also be attributed to the intercession of Cope. This finding was forwarded to Pope Benedict XVI by its secretary, Cardinal Angelo Amato, for papal approval. On December 19, 2011, Pope Benedict signed and approved the promulgation of the decree for Cope's sainthood and she was canonized on October 21, 2012; a relic was carried to Honolulu from her mother church. Dr. Waldery Hilgeman was the Postulator of the Cause of Canonization. After Father Damien, Cope is the second person to be canonized who had served in the Hawaiian Islands. She was both the first Beatification and the last Canonisation under Pope Benedict XVI. In 2014, the church announced that Saint Marianne's remains would be re-interred at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Peace in Honolulu, which was undergoing an extensive renovation. This is a more convenient location for the faithful than the Kalaupapa National Historical Park on Molokai, where access is primarily by plane or mule train. She sometimes attended Mass at the cathedral, and it was where Father Damien was ordained. In New York, the Franciscan Convent which held her remains, moved to a new location because its former buildings needed extensive repairs. Ecumenical veneration Cope is honored jointly with Saint Damien of Moloka'i on the liturgical calendar of the Episcopal Church (USA). Their shared feast day is celebrated on April 15. In arts and media Paul Cox directed the film Molokai: The Story of Father Damien (1999). Cope was portrayed by South African actress Alice Krige. Father Damien was portrayed by David Wenham.
