Jump to
Blessed Petrus Norbert Donders (27 October 1809 – 14 January 1887) was a Dutch Roman Catholic priest and a professed member from the Redemptorists. He served in the missions in Suriname where he tended to the native inhabitants and the lepers; he worked in both Paramaribo and Batavia where he died. Donders' poverty during his youth saw him unable to begin his studies for the priesthood. Later generous benefactors helped to enable him to complete his studies. Right after ordination he was sent to Suriname to tend to the natives there and he was never to return to his native land.
