Saint Gerard Religious Medal 

Patron Saint: Expectant Mothers

Saint Gerard is the patron of expectant mothers. Saint Gerard was born at
Muro, Italy, in 1726 and joined the Redemptorists at the age of 23,
becoming a professed lay brother in 1752. Saint Gerard served as sacristan,
gardener, porter, infirmarian, and tailor. However, because of his
great piety, extraordinary wisdom, and his gift of reading consciences,
he was permitted to counsel communities of religious women.
