St. Gemma Galgani Center for Families & Religious

The St. Gemma Galgani Center for Families and Religious, Inc. (the "Center") is a Michigan 501(c)(3) non profit corporation. The vision and mission of the Center is to support, strengthen, and protect Catholic families and religious throughout the world. We hope to grow our online community and spread positive content to other Catholics and those curious about the faith. Our focus is to act in the "Little Way" after the model of St. Therese and continue to grow slowly over time. We had big plans at first and tried to grow too fast so we have to return to the humble roots that we had in the beginning when the Center was formed in September of 2025, and spread the theological virtues of faith, hope and charity. We hope to grow through the faithful intercession of our most beloved: St. Gemma Maria Umberta Pia Galgani, from Lucca, Italy, born March 13, 1878, passing on Holy Saturday, April 11, 1903 at the young age of 25. Gemma was visited by many and experienced the marks of the stigmata.
