SAINT GIANNA MOLLA PRAYER CARD

A few years ago, someone from the Society of Saint Gianna Molla met with my local Catholic Homeschooling group. The person gave us a wonderful presentation on St. Gianna. This was the first time I got to learn about this amazing woman. During this presentation, I had the privilege of touching the glove of St. Gianna. I was also given a prayer card that also touched the glove, making it into a third-class relic. I have personally witnessed the miracles that have transpired from those who have been in contact with Saint Gianna’s glove.

Saint Gianna Molla Pray for Us!
