Her child was born and is still living today a very healthy life but unfortunately two weeks after she was born St.Gianna passed away.

Me
As a baby I was never baptized in any faith. In fact I made it all the way to my freshman year in high school until I was baptized. My freshman year God called me to come to the decision to become baptized on Easter Vigil with the RCIA here at Bishop Stang High School with my campus minister, Mrs. Tarantelli some other stundents. Today I practice the Catholic faith.
