Gifts Inspired by Saint Gianna

This post contains affiliate or associate links with several businesses (which means if you shop through the links, I earn a small commission). As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Saint Gianna is a wonderful soul to go to when we desire extra prayers.

Many women who hope to become mothers pray to Saint Gianna and ask for her intercession.

Personally, my husband and I asked for Saint Gianna to help heal our newborn while he was in the NICU for the first 6 weeks of his life.  We taped a Saint Gianna holy card to the back of his name sign on his hospital crib, and we believe she prayed for him fervently.  He’s now a healthy 7 year old boy preparing to make his First Holy Communion!  Praise the Lord! (We received our holy card when we visited the shrine in Warminster, PA)

Our daughter’s name is Jaina.  The name Gianna is of Italian and Hebrew origin, and the meaning of Gianna is “God is gracious” and is the feminine of Gianni and Jane, from John.  Knowing this, my husband and I have chosen Gianna to be her patron saint.  I’m sure she will pick some patron saints of her own as she grows, but for now – we ask Saint Gianna to pray for her!

Perhaps you have a friend who just had a baby girl named her after Saint Gianna;

Or you know a woman praying to become a mother or pregnant and praying for a healthy birth and pregancy;

or you were asked to be a Confirmation Sponsor and the young woman chose Gianna as her Confirmation name – and you want to give a meaningful gift.
Well, I’m here to help.

If you are looking for Catholic gifts in general, I strongly recommend checking out CatholicsOnline.net!  It’s a directory of Catholics that includes artisans and businesses!

Here are some gifts inspired by Saint Gianna!  The first is a beautiful gift for any woman!  Some listed are great for young children, others like the sticker, bracelet, and journal are all excellent Confirmation gifts!

A gorgeous gift box and Pillar and Pearl!

Inspired by her quote, “Whatever God wants,” this box is dedicated in honor of St. Gianna Beretta Molla, who is the first canonized “working mother.” The patron saint of physicians, mothers, and unborn children, Gianna’s life was an example of true pro-life values and of sacrifice for family, and this box aims to encourage those who receive it to live the same way.

Tiny Saints Charm

Add the charm to a paracord necklace or clip on backpacks, lunch boxes, purses, key chains or attach them to a Confirmation or Communion gift, or the rosary and create a personalized look with saints, popes, and Jesus and Mary. You can even make a bracelet or necklace out of them!

Saint Gianna Journal

Gifts for Adults

Daily Task Tea Towel

A book about Saint Gianna.  This book, Journey of Our Love, is Gianna Emmanuela’s favorite book about here Saint Mom!

Between 1955-1962, Saint Gianna Beretta and her husband Pietro Molla corresponded through a series of letters, collected here. Touching, inspiring, and refreshingly human, their exchanges reflect the everyday experiences and the abounding love of a modern day couple, revealing that the way of holiness can unfold in the midst of this world. From balancing work and family life, to dealing with a long-distance relationship, to parenting, to coping with illness and death, Gianna and Pietro conquered it all. But none of it was accomplished without tremendous trust in each other–and in God.

Meet our Retreat Speaker: Sarah Dickerson! Not onl Meet our Retreat Speaker: Sarah Dickerson!
Not only is Sarah one of the Founders of @msc_highschool Martin Saints Classical High School, a Master of Theology as well as Theology of the Body and an experienced lecturer… she is also no stranger to Prayer Wine Chocolate Retreats!
But none of those reasons is why she was chosen to give a talk at this year’s retreat.
She was chosen because Sarah would put the best Zen  Master to shame (thank you Colleen for this incredible description).
When I want advice, I often go to Sarah.
If you know Sarah and you are asked to think of the calmest person you know… you think of Sarah.
Sarah has 7 children.
Sarah works, volunteers, entertains and often picks up adjunct positions at the archdiocese’s seminary.
Yet through it all, she remains Calm in Christ.

There are still a handful of spots left for the 2026 Prayer Wine Chocolate Retreat. Registration will close when spots fill up or on Thursday… whichever comes first!

When I discovered this in my basement, my daughter grabbed it and ran off… I still have some speed left in me. “Secrets” recovered 😅.

Writing in a diary or a journal is much different than writing and sharing on social media… especially for kids and teens. Dr. Leonard Sax (author of The Collapse of Parenting) shares in his talks how writing in a diary or journal is living… but writing and posting is performing.

The young need the space to write out of the public eye.

Also… remember the Cabbage Patch Kids 😂!?
