A Haven for Moms and Babies: St. Gianna & Pietro Molla Maternity Home

Clockwise from left: Director Mary Pat Jahner hugs her adopted daughter, Aubrey; former resident Emily Hildreth smiles with her daughter, Enya, who was born at the home; a few years ago, a group from the home witnessed to life in Fargo, North Dakota, to pray outside of an abortion facility: Geianna, the home’s first baby, is shown with Aubrey, Jahner’s daughter.

The North Dakota shelter has been welcoming mothers since 2004, the year the home’s namesake was canonized. Moms, children and staff are attending this year’s March for Life to celebrate the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
