Although the church acknowledges about two dozen St. Gerards, the most well known is Gerard Majella. St. Gerard Majella lived in Italy in the 18th century, and is the patron saint of expectant mothers, mothers, pregnant women, and childbirth. His feast day is celebrated on October 16. The St. Gerard medal is crafted from the finest sterling silver and bears an image of the saint with his name around the edge. The medal has lovely diamond-cut accents that really catch the light and make it sparkle! The reverse side of the medal is blank allowing for personalized engraving. We offer personalized engraving services here at St. Patrick's Guild for the reasonable price of $9.95 for two lines. The St. Gerard medal comes on an 18 inch stainless steel chain with a clasp, which is a great size for most women and children ages 7+. The St. Gerard medal makes a great gift for expectant mothers, new mothers, or just to let your own mother know that you care. Also makes a great First Communion or Confirmation gift. Our St. Gerard medal comes packaged in a handsome hinged jewelry gift box.
