Do you print the cards yourself? They are very professional-looking! Thank you so much for offering free holy cards of this amazing Saint!
Hi Lene,
Thank you for your kind comment.
The holy cards are actually real photographs of Saint Gemma, attached to a heavy card stock backing, with a prayer on the back. I received the photographs from the Passionist Nuns at Saint Gemma's Monastery/Sanctuary in Lucca, and also from the Postulator General of the Passionists in Rome.
I am really glad to hear that you like them.
May God bless you always!

Oh my goodness, I cannot contain my excitement. I have known about this awesome website and have been blessed by it. I only want to know more about St. Gemma and learn from her to increase in faith and love of Our Lord. I wish I could read in Italian so I can order some of the books written about her! Here's the best part....for years I have been thinking about forming a ladies' Catholic book club, prayer group, discussion circle (combination of the three) and have seriously been putting the idea down on paper and making a list of invitations to go out. For several days now I have been thinking of what to call the group and/or which Saint we can adopt as our patron and intercessor. It came to me today.....St. Gemma!....we can learn so much from her and we can have the confidence that she will intercede and protect us! Who knows maybe a book about St. Gemma will be the first book we read! Also with this special group....there will be several opportunities to help with your fundraising to keep promoting Gemma. I will be in contact soon to order some of those special prayer cards! Any suggestions on your part will be greatly appreciated. God Bless!
Hi Rogelia,
It is a pleasure to meet you. It is wonderful to hear of your joy and devotion towards St Gemma.
The Ladies prayer group and book discussion club sounds like an excellent idea to me. And, ss far as St Gemma being the patroness of the group, well she is my top pick!! (although, I must confess I am a bit partial to her!!)
As far as St Gemma book suggestions, perhaps it would be best to start out with a couple of short books first, and Gemma's Autobiography and Diary are both perfect for this. Even better is that I have both of them in their entireity on the website, so if you wanted you can simply print out as many copies as you need. However, if you want her Autobiography in printed book form it is availible here:

May God bless and guide you in your efforts. I look forward to hearing back from you in the future.

Are there still more cards available? My sister is named after St. Gemma and my family is looking to strengthen our worship in this amazing Saint. Is there a limit on how many we can get??? Thank you so much for this wonderful deed.
God Bless
Hi Christopher,
Yes, I have lots of St Gemma holy cards availible. Just follow the directions in the article above and I will be happy to send you a couple for free.

I am so excited to receive the cards. By the way, do you know how can I obtain a relic of St. Gemma?
:D
Hi JPatrick,
I mailed out your St Gemma photo holy prayer cards yesterday, so you should be receiving them very soon.
I will send you an email in regards to information concerning the possibility of obtaining a relic.
May God bless you and yours,

Hello.I found this website through divine intervention. I cannot remember how I found it, I think I was watching EWTN during the time I was ill around November and was worried about many things. I had gallstones, left ovarian cyst and I had a wound on my left thumb which I had cauterized. During this time when my thumb was healing and the doctors said I should not get it wet, we experienced a great flooding in Manila Philippines. The water inside our house was 7ft. high and outside was like 10ft. some of our pets died but our families were okay. My thumb was soaked in water and got infected again. I had flu as well during that time. I discovered this website and read about St. Gemma. I wrote one of the prayers here and fervently asked for her intercession. I was supposed to visit the doctor again to have my thumb examined or if I need another surgery again since it got infected, to my awe, a week after I have been praying to St. Gemma, I noticed one morning the wound was completely healed. Gone! Only a scar is left as a trace. Also, the results for my abdominal ultrasound for the gallstones and cysts were okay, meaning I didn't have to really undergo surgery and all was normal. St. Gemma along with other saints(St.Padre Pio, St. Faustina, St. Rose of Lima) whom I pray to, all performed a miracle in my life and I am blessed and grateful. My name is Rosedelima, I was named after St. Rose of Lima. Thank you for this website, thank you for sharing this because now I am sharing it to family and friends as well. God bless.
Hi riacdm (RoseDeLima),
Thank you so much for sharing the story of your cure and the graces of God in you life, especially through the intercession of St Gemma, St Pio and St Rose of Lima.
Blessed be God in His Saints!
I pray that St Gemma may always be your special friend and advocate with our loving God, and may she obtain many more graces for you, and lead you into the Heart of Jesus!
I am going to copy and paste your message into the "answered prayers" section of this website, for the greater glory of God and His servant St Gemma!
Union in the hearts of Jesus and Mary,

Dear Glenn,
Thank you for your wonderful site about Gemma. My father has just written two articles on her life for an Irish magazine, and I wonder if you have any photos left? It would be a lovely surprise for him to receive one that had been pressed to a relic of Gemma. I also have an aged friend, Laure, who has liver cancer, and it would be nice for her to have a photo too.
Thank you in advance,
Carolyn
Hi Carolyn,
It is a pleasure to meet you.
It is really wonderful to hear that your father has recently written a couple of articles about St Gemma! Of course I will be happy to send you a few free St Gemma holy cards for him, and also for your friend Laure who has liver cancer. In fact for her I also have a relic card, along with my poor prayers...
So, can you please email me your mailing address and I will get them out to you gratis.

I just recently discovered your site while trying to learn more about St. Gemma, she is so inspiring! I am going to mail you an envelope with a stamp for a holy card, if I may (I live in Ohio). Thank you for this wonderful gift and for this site dedicated to such an incredible Saint! God bless!
Hi Emily Catherine,

I recieved the cards sometime ago and never posted to thank you- they are beautiful!
In the one where the Holy Face has been added in the corner, do you know the artist of that drawing? I've been trying to track down a print of that without success.
Hi Sara,
I am glad to hear that you received the holy cards safely and that you are happy with them.
The holy card with St Gemma and the Holy Face of Jesus in the corner is one that I made myself, using a computer program to imbed the holy Face of Jesus onto an exsisting photograph of Saint Gemma.
I am glad to hear that you like it.

I have recently asked St. Gemma to be my special patroness. As a single woman who wanted to be a religious and failed, then a member of a secular institute and failed at that too, I, like St. Gemma, professed private vows. Gemma's incredible holiness draws me like a magnet. My greatest desire is to be as totally focused in prayer as she was. Just to be totally lost in Jesus in my aim. I beg her help in this. I never knew that she was invoked by people with back problems. I have been troubled with back problems which have been getting worse with the years. I am going to ask dear St. Gemma for help with this too. Do you think that I am being greedy? I would also be interested in learning how I might procure a relic of St. Gemma. I was also bowled over by the post of the woman who was considering forming a woman's group and naming it for St. Gemma. That same idea has crossed my mind many times and I am still considering it. Thank you for this wonderful site.
Hi Judy,
Thanks for your comments. It is nice to meet you.
I am really glad to hear that St Gemma has inspired you. As you read, St Gemma remained a layperson throughout her life, although she ardently longed to become a nun, and tried entering a couple of different religious communities, but it always ended in failure. And so, having always been a layperson, she is certainly an extraordinary model for the laity, as you have rightly discovered, because her life was lived and spent in the world, and she found and loved Jesus amidst the "pots and pans" of her daily household occupations.
And, of course you can ask St Gemma to help you with your back problem, as she herself received heavenly assistance for her back problem through the interecession of St Gabriel Possenti, as you certainly must have read on this website. I pray that St Gemma may always be your special friend and heavenly advocate.
~St Gemma, pray for us!

What a wonderful website! My daughter, Abigail, is doing her confirmation project on St. Gemma. Through her research, I have been reading about this beautiful saint and I'm going to send for the Holy cards--it is a surprise for my daughter, she will be so excited to receive them! Thank you so much for offering the cards. I have learned so much from my children's faith--I am blessed. Susan M. Creighton

Hi, Glenn-
Is it possible to get St. Gemma holy cards with a custom prayer to St. Gemma? I've ordered the holy cards before, but I have my own personal prayer to her I'd love to see on one of these.
If it can be done, I'd very much appreciate it.
Thanks,
Luke
Hi Luke,
Yes, it is possible. If you would like, email me and we can discuss it.

Dear Brother in Christ,
May Our Lord reward you in every way for your efforts on behalf of one of His most beloved saints. I have loved St. Gemma ever since I heard of her some years ago. So it was with deep joy that I came across your website devoted to her. Even as I write this I feel her presence very near. I am far from a saint, more like a "criminal nothingness" to quote Santa Teresa de Jesus de Los Andes another favourite saint of mine. But these are awe-full times and we must make haste to draw near Our Glorious Lord and His Most Tender and Loving Mother.
Are you still offering the St. Gemma holy cards? I pray so. I also pray for you and this apostolate. May you continue to ever grow in the riches of our Most Dear Lord and Lady.
Your Humble Servant in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary,

Hi Glenn! I just received my Holy Cards in the mail, thank you! Everyone is right, they are very high quality. You are very kind to offer these for free. I was wondering what the 1st class relic is that the cards were touched to. I love your site, that you again. May God bless you.
Meg
Hi Meg,
Thanks for your comments. I am glad to hear that you are pleased with the free holy prayer cards.
To reply to your question, each of the cards are touched to a 1st class relic of St Gemma that was given to me by a Passionist priest. I wear this particular relic in a locket on a necklace, so I always have it with me. It is a "ex corpore" relic = from the body of the Saint.
Best wishes and may God bless you and your loved ones,

I wanted to thank you for the prayer cards that you sent me and to share my daughter’s miraculous story. I requested the cards for my 13 year old daughter, Marian (named after the Blessed Mother as thanks for having a healthy baby after 3 miscarriages) after she was diagnosed with spinal scoliosis by her pediatrician. The doctor was very concerned about the curvature of her back and explained to her that she made need to wear a back brace for several years.
I received the St. Gemma prayer cards in the mail 2 days before her appointment with an orthopedic doctor. I had my daughter read a summary of the life of St. Gemma, we said the prayer together as a family, and she slept with the prayer card under her mattress.
When the orthopedic doctor examined her, I noticed that I could not see the curve of her spine the way I could in the pediatrician’s office. He quickly stated that her scoliosis was very slight and that she would only need x-rays every 6 months to confirm that the curve does not get any worse. The x-ray taken that day confirmed that she had only a slight curve of her spine (less than 10 degrees).
I know that it cannot be proven that a miracle occurred, because her initial diagnosis was only a visual examination- but I do believe!
I now feel called to tell others about St. Gemma. Not necessarily because of the miracle, but because I feel drawn to her as an amazing, holy person who obviously is very close to God. My daughter must feel the same because she took the story of St. Gemma to CCD (religious education) to share with her class- which takes guts for a 13 year old!
Thank you again & God bless your work!
Tina
Thank you so much Tina for sharing this inspiring true story! I sincerely appreciate it.
May St Gemma always be very close to you and your loved ones, and may she continue to lead you ever closer to Jesus!

Humbly Thankful,
SILVA,LORENZO T.
P.S.
Please reply immidiately
Hi Lorenzo,
For several years I have offered two free St Gemma photo holy prayer cards to anyone who requested them through email or through a request in the comment section on the website etc. because I would like everyone who would like them to receive the free holy cards. However, because postage outside of the USA is very expensive, not to mention the cost of each holy card since these are not massed produced holy cards but are high quality photo holy cards that are actually photo's of Gemma, it is now become necessary to require those interested in the free holy cards to send to me a written request in a letter through the postal mail.
This is necessary also because unfortunately there are those who request the holy cards not because they have any devotion or interest in St Gemma, but simply because they are free and upon receiving them they then sell them for a profit.
Therefore requiring a request through the postal mail will also keep these "false"requests to a minimum. In closing, those who do mail a letter requesting the holy cards can be assured that I will send them. Please be sure to include your mailing address along with your request, and please note also that I send 2 free cards per request.
My mailing address for free holy card requests is:

Teria como me dar um santinho de santa gemma
Hi,
Do you still have any of the prayer cards left? I have a new priest at my church and St. Gemma is his favorite patron saint. He blessed me with a handmade rosary blessed in Jerusalem. I would like to bless him back.
Thanks so much!
