St. Gertrude Feast Day November 16
Since she had such a zeal for souls, the Marian Mantle Group has always encouraged turning to St Gertrude on behalf of our prodigal loved ones. When this saint lived her life here on Earth with the sole purpose of bringing salvation to others, surely she will carry our prayers forward to the King of Kings in Heaven. |
