Written on the back of the picture:

St. Gerard, Patron of expectant mothers. 1726-1755. Feast Day: October 16th. St. Gerard Majella was born in Muro, Italy in 1776. He joined the Redemptorists and served as sacristan, gardener, porter, infirmarian and tailor. Because of his great piety, extraordinary wisdom and gift of reading consciences, he was permitted to counsel communities of religious women. His charity, obedience, selfless service and mortification for Christ made him a perfect model for lay brothers.
