ways Father Christensen, Mary Pat, the Housemothers and staff members sacrificially share of
their time, talents and treasures are too numerous to count and are truly beautiful! These
virtuous people pray daily for the grace to cooperate with the Holy Spirit in ministering to each
person God places in their path hence providing numerous opportunities for growth in education,
holiness and goodness. Every woman and child is treated with respect and dignity remembering
that they are made in the image and likeness of God.

and in His still, small voice speaks to those who are weary from the journey of life. Many a
pregnant woman comes to the Home for an opportunity to begin again, resolve issues, see with

Our holy patroness, Saint Gianna Beretta Molla, is a beautiful example of a role model that graces the Home. Her sacrificial life
is truly one to emulate and promote with the young ladies the Lord brings to us. Her intercession is invaluable in this work that
requires much sacrifice and dedication from staff members, to clients, to volunteers. We are so blessed to have a maternity home;
a Home of prayer, love and redemption in the state of North Dakota and in our lives. ~Colleen Samson

Pat played such an important part of our establishing a firm foundation to build our faith. Since
that time we have been fortunate to serve many different supporting roles with the Home ranging
from Board member to babysitter, all equally enjoyable. Regardless of the varied ways we
have served, the work carried out at the home has been a continual reminder to our
family that the love of our Lord is still present and fruitful.

Over the past ten years, the work of all those involved has been a source of inspiration and
hope. The Saint Gianna Home has deepened our faith life by keeping our family close to the
works of mercy through the daily witness of those fulfilling the duties in serving the women and

I often think of Saint Gianna's Maternity Home as the pro-life shrine of the prairie. Not
because we have tour buses of pilgrims knocking on our doors, or because the home
itself is always pristine, peaceful, and serene. No, it is quite the opposite. Most days,
I drive by the Home and see bikes and toys on the front steps. When I drop in with a box
of donations from the many groups that support our work, I hear noisy toddler footsteps,
a crying baby, and laughing mothers in the kitchen. This is the work of the Home - to
provide all-encompassing care, formation, and development to the women in our
community who need it most. The staff at Saint Gianna's goes beyond diapers and
prenatal appointments, and facilitates the changes our clients need to ensure the best
possible start to the next chapter of their lives, whether they parent or place for adoption.
Each mother I have encountered during my time as a volunteer and as a board
member has been a supreme gift to me. The trials they have gone through, and

the obstacles many of them face humble me. Our ladies are women of dignity and

made in His perfect image and the children they carry are unique, unrepeatable
infinite human beings. Saint Gianna's is missionary to all those who come seeking aid. When most people think of a shrine, they
think of something physical created to give glory to God. While our home and chapel is certainly beautiful, it is our work together
with our residents, supported by our generous benefactors that really gives Him the greatest glory. My family is proud to support
this wonderful gem in the most pro-life state, and we are thankful to those who join us in supporting Saint Gianna's.

In the darkness of the world Christ is our light. The young pregnant women that come to
WKH6DLQW*LDQQD¶V0DWHUQLW\KRPHIHHOWKDW/LJKWDQGWKHZDUPWKRI&KULVWWKHVHFRQGWKH\
arrive; the Light that can dispel the darkness and rid them of their fear. The Gianna Home is
that beacon of light shining itself in the darkness and shining itself into the souls of the
women that live there and to the entire community. The staff and director, Mary Pat Jahner,
truly do carry the light of Christ to all they meet. They work tirelessly, planting the seeds of
faith into these young women, and then cultivating and nurturing the seeds by their constant
example of virtue. The fruits of their work are revealed in the births of 94 babies that have
been born and in the numerous conversions that have taken place within the hearts of the
mothers. That same light has even been carried to me while I was pregnant with my 6th and
7th babies as they brought me many meals and prayed countless prayers for me.
By the grace of God, the cooperation of those that work there and the prayerful
support of so many, the light of Christ is shining and lighting up the world through
the Saint Gianna Maternity Home! Through the intercession of Saint Gianna we ask God
to continue his blessings upon the Maternity Home for many more decades to come.
