St. Gianna and Pietro Molla Miscarriage Ministry.

The ministry is named in honor of St. Gianna and her husband Pietro Molla. They both experienced the pain of losing 2 children due to miscarriages. They felt the exact ache your heart is feeling now; they grieved the loss of their 2 little ones.

She offers profound words of wisdom and consolation, saying:

“Love and sacrifice are closely linked, like the sun and the light. We cannot love without suffering, and we cannot suffer without love” - St. Gianna

Spontaneous abortion or miscarriage is defined as the loss of pregnancy less than 20 weeks gestation. Catholics believe the death of a baby through miscarriage is the death of a full human person.

After a miscarriage, you as the parents may need time to recover spiritually, physically as well as emotionally. Even so, you may feel alone and carry your grief in silence.

That is why the Archdiocese of Miami has created this ministry: to let you know that you are not alone in your grief.

Florida law also states that following a spontaneous fetal demise after a gestation period of less than 20 completed weeks, the mother has the option to arrange for the burial or cremation of the fetal remains.

Catholic Cemeteries of the Archdiocese of Miami will help with the proper services and burial for your baby.
