On this feast day for St. Gianna Beretta Molla, I cannot help but recall my visit to the home that bears her name.
St. Gianna’s Home in Warsaw, N.D., is a remarkable place where young women without support can come and have and raise a child in a loving, Christ-filled place.
I knew before I arrived that my trip there, where I also stayed and prayed with Father Joseph and Brother Nick in the friary across the street, that this was going to be a special week. Yet my brief time there affirmed the value of the entire endeavor and reaffirmed the Holy Spirit’s guidance along the way exceeded my already lofty expectations. It was truly a lifechanging experience, a sentiment I’m certain is true of countless women who have been blessed to be welcomed there.
St. Gianna’s home, which was once a Catholic school.
The display features relics from St. Gianna, provided to the home by her daughter, who has spent much time there.
Across the street sits St. Stanislaus, the Cathedral of the Prairie.
