Saint Gianna Presentation

Office Manager — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 10:05:57 +0000

Thomas McKenna, founder of the Saint Gianna Physicians Guild and personal friend of the family of Saint Gianna Beretta Molla, will give a presentation on the life of the Italian saint on Friday, April 18 at the Ryan Catholic Newman Center after the 5:15pm mass. McKenna will speak on “Saint Gianna Beretta Molla: A Modern Day Saint and Messenger of Divine Love.” The event, open to the public, is sponsored by the University of Pittsburgh Beautiful Choice group. As an Italian physician, wife and mother, Saint Gianna was best known for her refusal to have a medical procedure after being diagnosed with a uterine tumor, which would have resulted in the loss of her unborn child. Her death has been called a testament to the value of the unborn. The saint, who died in 1962, was canonized by Pope John Paul II in 2004. McKenna, of San Diego, also is president of the newly formed Catholic Action for Faith and Family, a movement with a goal “to promote and defend the values of our Catholic faith through the doctrines of the Church.” Talk will be held following the Friday Spaghetti Social meal.
