Description
Saint Gerard Majella, a humble Redemptorist brother of the 18th century, is venerated as the patron of expectant mothers. Known for his compassion and miraculous intercessions for women during pregnancy and childbirth, his legacy endures as a source of hope and comfort for families welcoming new life.
The Saint Gerard Medal is often worn by expectant mothers or gifted by loved ones as a prayer for a safe delivery and protection of both mother and child. Many couples also choose it as a reminder that every new life is a gift from God. For mothers who have suffered difficulties or loss, the medal becomes a source of healing and renewed trust in God’s care.
According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, sacramentals are sacred signs instituted by the Church to prepare us to receive the fruit of the sacraments and to sanctify different circumstances of our lives (no. 1677).When blessed by a priest, the Saint Gerard Medal sanctifies the journey of motherhood, strengthening women with faith, hope, and courage.
Wearing this medal is an act of trust in God’s providence and Saint Gerard’s intercession, a visible prayer for safe pregnancy, joyful motherhood, and the sanctity of family life.
