I am a member of Elizabeth Ministry at my parish, a group that supports women in their child-bearing years. Our ministry has become increasingly aware of a growing number of women who desire to conceive but are experiencing complications. The ministry has decided to support these families through parish-wide prayer.
On May 1, our parish began a novena for those wishing to conceive. We will pray this for first nine days not only in May, but for the first nine days per month for the extended future. We are praying the following Novena to St. Gerard, the patron of motherhood. If you have a heart for this issue, please join in our heavenly petition. Or perhaps you know one who might find consolation in this prayer? If so, please consider passing this prayer along.
O glorious St.Gerard, powerful intercessor before God, and wonder worker of our day, I call upon you and seek your help. You who always fulfilled God’s will on earth, help those desiring to conceive to do God’s holy will. Intercede with the Giver of Life from whom all parenthood proceeds, that they may conceive and raise children who will please God in this life, and be heirs to the Kingdom of Heaven. Amen.
A day late, but I´m starting it anyways!
I am praying for my daughter in law
Pls pray for us St. Gerard for me to conceive and deliver a healthy Baby.
Please keep us in your prayers. I fear I cannot conceive but I understand that with God’s will, any is possible!
Happy Mother’s Day? | naprohusband.com

PLEASE St. Gerard help my daughter and son-in-law to conceive. They have been trying for over three years with no luck. They finally decided one last ditch effort…IVF. They have been going through this process for over eight months. They were only able to extract four eggs. All four got fertilized. Then one didn’t make it, they had tree good ones left. Over the weekend two more didn’t make it. Now they are down to “one last STRONG EMBRYO”. They are waiting for the genetic test to come back. WE are ALL PRAYING too you St. Gerard, that we get good news from this test and that in a few weeks they will receive “GREAT NEWS” that they will be able to transplant the frozen embryo. And a few weeks later find out that they are pregnant! This IS their last chance to conceive! PLEASE ST, GERAD HEAR MY PRAYER FOR THEM. THESE KIDS WOULD MAKE WONDERFUL PARENTS!! I PRAY THS IN YOUR NAME…THANK YOU<3
Please St. Gerard, help my husband and I conceive a child naturally. Last year I had major surgery to remove a large tumor on my right ovary. Now I found out that I have cysts on my left ovary (only ovary left) and a fibroid tumor in my uterus. I pray that these health issues do not hinder my ability to get pregnant. My husband and I would love to start a family and become parents. Please St. Gerard, together with Jesus, God and our beloved Mother Mary, please let me get pregnant and deliver a happy, healthy baby to full-term. I pray that I am healthy for this journey with Jesus by my side. St. Gerard I pray you bring my petitions to God for his intercession.

Pray for me that i conceive before my birthday Aug 14
My wife and I have had a tough time with three conceptions which were all lost to miscarriages. We are currently pregnant for the fourth time, and needless to say, we are a bit nervous. My mother recommended a novena. On the same night she recommended these prayers, my wife experienced similar symptoms to that of the previous miscarriages. With the help of beginning this novena, she immediately calmed down and began to feel better. She has been fine since. My wife and I continue praying this novena since that day and we will continue to ask God, through his helpers, to watch over our pregnancy.
I will be joining, I have been trying to conceive form 3 years now.
