Saint Gerard Majella, C.Ss.R. (†1755) was an Italian lay brother of the Congregation of the Redeemer who is honored as a saint by the Catholic Church. Some of Majella's reported miracles include restoring life to a boy who had fallen from a high cliff, blessing the scant supply of wheat belonging to a poor family and making it last until the next harvest, and several times multiplying the bread that he was distributing to the poor. One day, he walked across the water to lead a boatload of fishermen through stormy waves to the safety of the shore. He was reputed to have had bilocation and the ability to read souls. His intercession is sought for children, unborn children, women in childbirth, mothers, expectant mothers, motherhood, the falsely accused, good confessions, lay brothers, and Muro Lucano, Italy. He was beatified in Rome in 1893 by Pope Leo XIII. He was canonized less than twelve years later in 1904 by Pope Pius X and His devotion has become very popular in North America, both in the United States and Canada. The feast day of Saint Gerard Majella is October 16.
