St. Gianna Beretta Molla was an Italian pediatrician and mother. She developed a fibroma in her uterus while pregnant with her fourth child. Molla refused an abortion and a hysterectomy in order to preserve the child’s life. She prioritized her child’s life over her own and died one week after giving birth, on the morning of Easter Saturday, 28 April, 1962.
St. Gianna, pray for us!
Introducing Casa St. Gianna
Casa St. Gianna is a 4-bedroom home in a quiet North Phoenix neighborhood, providing women with a safe place to continue their pregnancies and to prepare for their futures. We hear the words “I’m not in a good situation right now.” Sometimes life gets overwhelming, especially for a single mom with no family support and nowhere to turn for help. Housing cost increases have been hardest on single mothers and women with small children. That is where we step in! As pro-life people of faith, we can help women to choose life AND to move forward confidently and safely into a stable future, starting at St. Casa Gianna.
Your generosity provides a safe, supportive, and loving home for pregnant women, mothers, and little ones in need. Thank you for your partnership in this important life-affirming mission. Donations of the following items help make Casa St. Gianna a welcoming home. For more info contact Christy at christy.lcwc@gmail.com

As the shelter in place order was established, Life Choices Women’s Clinic was ready to serve the community by implementing serious precautions in an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Our staff had the choice to self-isolate by working from home or coming to the clinic to work.
After a difficult night, knowing her baby was dying inside her, she remembered the Abortion Pill Reversal pamphlet she had received on the Hope Mobile Clinic and called the APR Hotline nurse. Debby helped her get started on progesterone, and referred her back to our clinic to continue her care. The progesterone had side effects, causing her tiredness and nausea.
