Saint Gerard Majella - The Mother's Saint

I enjoy my friendly relationship with the Redemptorists who run the wonderful website and Facebook page devoted to serving women through the intercession of St. Gerard Majella. Here's a bit more about them from their Facebook "about" section:

Our online community provides prayer, support, celebration, education and hope for all mothers, mothers-to-be, and those trying to conceive.

Biography

Saint Gerard Majella is a Redemptorist saint known around the world as the patron of expectant mothers. Born on April 6, 1726 in Muro, Italy. He was the son of a tailor who died when Gerard was 12, leaving the family in poverty. Gerard tried to join the Capuchin order but was denied because of his ill health. He was later accepted as a Redemptorist lay brother serving the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer as a gardener and a tailor. To learn more about St. Gerard and how he became known as the patron of expectant mothers, visit our website at http://www.themotherssaint.org/pages/saint-gerard.html.

The administrators of The Mother's Saint Facebook page have set a goal of reaching 3,000 "likes" on Facebook by Mother's Day and we're incredibly close to helping them reach that goal.
