VISIT US
THE SAINT GIANNA SHRINE
The Saint Gianna Shrine is the only shrine dedicated to Saint Gianna Beretta Molla in the greater Philadelphia region, and one of only a handful in the United States. It is lovingly maintained by the Archdiocesan Shrine and is open to all who wish to pray, seek healing, and honor this modern saint.
The shrine is housed within Nativity of Our Lord Parish along Street Road in Warminster, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The Shrine was previously found online at saintgianna.org and continues its devotional mission at saintgiannashrine.org.
The shrine features a beautiful statue of Saint Gianna, before which pilgrims are invited to kneel in prayer and place their written petitions. Among the shrine's most treasured possessions are first-class relics of Saint Gianna — including her gloves — which have been touched by many faithful seeking her intercession. These relics have been present at major Catholic gatherings, including the World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia.
Many visitors have reported extraordinary blessings through Saint Gianna's intercession — particularly women experiencing difficult pregnancies, couples struggling with infertility, and families seeking healing. We invite you to come, pray, and entrust your needs to Saint Gianna.

WHO WE ARE
OUR MISSION
The Archdiocesan Shrine of St. Gianna Beretta Molla is a Catholic shrine based in Warminster, Pennsylvania, dedicated to promoting holiness in the family and a deep respect for the sanctity of all human life by spreading devotion to Saint Gianna and the virtues she exemplified.
We believe that Saint Gianna's life speaks powerfully to our world today. As a wife, mother, physician, and lay Catholic, she shows us that holiness is achievable in the midst of ordinary life — through love, sacrifice, professional integrity, and trust in God's Providence.
Our Shrine works to make Saint Gianna known and loved by maintaining the shrine in her honor, receiving and praying for the petitions of the faithful, distributing devotional materials, and organizing events to celebrate her life and legacy. We are especially devoted to accompanying women and families in times of difficulty while trusting in Saint Gianna's powerful intercession.
We are committed to the culture of life and to the vision Pope Saint John Paul II expressed at Saint Gianna's canonization, calling her "Mother of a Family”....a simple, but more than ever, significant messenger of divine love."
