St. Gianna Beretta Molla Catholic Mass Offering Card

This is a beautiful religious image of St. Gianna with her two children. Inside is a prayer that she wrote. On the right side of the card is the template for a Holy Mass Offering. Names may be substituted or they can be deleted so that way the names can be written in by hand. Saint Gianna Beretta Molla (4 October 1922 – 28 April 1962) was an Italian Roman Catholic pediatrician. St. Gianna refused an abortion and a hysterectomy while she was pregnant with her fourth child despite knowing that continuing the refusal could result in her own death which later occurred. Molla's medical career went in tandem with teachings of the Church. This strengthened her resolve to follow her conscience while coming to the aid of others who required assistance. These views came into focus when she decided to save the life of her final child rather than think of herself. St. Gianna also dedicated herself to charitable work amongst older people and was involved in Catholic Action; she also aided the Saint Vincent de Paul group in their outreach to the poor and less fortunate. Her Feast Day is April 28th.
