St. Gianna Beretta Molla (Oct. 4, 1922 - April 28, 1962), an Italian pediatrician, is one of the Church’s lay saints. When suffering from a life-threatening disease while pregnant, she rejected the possibility of having an abortion to save her own life and gave her own to save that of her fourth child, Gianna Emanuela.
Her heroic example, both in life and death, led her to become a patron saint of the unborn, and she now has a growing devoted following worldwide - reports of miracles and graces granted through her intercession continue to this day.
St. Gianna was canonized by Pope John Paul II in 2004.
Her last daughter, Dr. Gianna Emanuela Molla, is a geriatrician from Milan, who has given a series of talks about her canonized mother bringing each time pictures and relics (pieces of cloth) that belonged to her mother.
This presentation took place on September 3, 2017 at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, 11385 Grant Dr., Northglenn, CO 80233.
