The ministry of health and healing is central to the life of the Church. Like Jesus, who was devoted to healing the physical, emotional and spiritual broeknness of His people, we at St. Mary's Cathedral Health Ministry will address these needs among our parishioners. We hope to assist in restoring a sense of wholeness and healing to those in need.
St. Mary's Health Care Ministry is dedicated to St. Gianna Beretta Molla, a saint of the Catholic Church. St. Gianna Beretta Molla (Oct. 4, 1922 - Apr. 28, 1962) was an Italian pediatrician, wife and mother who is best known for her refusing both an abortion and a hysterectomy when she was pregnant with her fourth child, despite knowing that continuing with the pregnancy could result in her death. She was canonized as a saint of the Catholic Church in 2004. St. Gianna Beretta Molla was the last saint canonized by Pope John Paul II
All embrace health, healing and wholeness to enhance their relationship with God.
