St. Gerard Majella

St. Gerard Majella (1726-1755) is the patron saint of children, unborn children, women in childbirth, mothers and expectant mothers.  

A few months before his death, he visited the Pirofalo family and accidentally dropped his handkerchief. One of the Pirofalo girls spotted the handkerchief moments after he had left the house, and she ran after Gerard to return it. "Keep it," he said to her. "You may need it some day." Years later when the girl, now a married woman, was on the verge of dying in childbirth, she remembered the words of the saintly lay brother. She asked for the handkerchief to be brought to her. Almost immediately, the pain disappeared and she gave birth to a healthy child. 

At your request we will bring it to receive the Blessing from the Holy Father.
