CEBU, Philippines – The Redemptorist Province of Cebu, through its official media arm RAMM (Redemptorist All-Access Media Ministry), has launched the “Grazie San Gerardo” (Thank You, St. Gerard) Series in celebration of the 300th birth anniversary of St. Gerard Majella (1726–2026) and also to the Province’s Year of Grace (2026).
The series features real-life testimonies of individuals and families whose lives were touched by the prayers and intercession of St. Gerard, the patron saint of expectant mothers, unborn children, and families facing difficult pregnancies.
RAMM has gathered stories from different Redemptorist communities within the Province, including couples who conceived after years of struggle, mothers who experienced safe deliveries despite high-risk conditions, and families who attribute healings to the saint’s intercession.
The series will be released across RAMM’s social media platforms. The pilot episode features the Mantilla family. Mak-mak and Claudine were both active leaders of the Redemptorist Youth Ministry before they got married. They shared the challenges they had to go through when they started to create a family of their own and how St. Gerard played a key role in building their home.
RAMM hopes to help in the promotion of St. Gerard devotion. They will be launching later a much easier way by which people can share their miracle stories through the intercession of St. Gerard. Subscribe to the official YouTube Channel of the Redemptorist Province of Cebu – RAMM TV Official.
