Gerard Majella
Saint Gerard Majella was devoted to the service of God. As a Redemptorist lay brother, he served as a sacristan, gardener, cook, carpenter, porter, and other humble positions. A kind and gentle man, he was always willing to help others and God blessed him with special charisms and miraculous cures. Saint Gerard Majella is the patron saint of lay brothers and expectant mothers.
