According to the Zenit News Agency, a Vincentian is among the six people to be canonized Sunday! Gianna Beretta Molla, who accepted the risk of dying rather than undergo a medical treatment that would have caused an abortion. “The fruit of her faith was reflected in her apostolate in Catholic Action and the St. Vincent de Paul Society, where she dedicated herself to young people and charitable service to the elderly and needy,” according to the Zenit News Agency.
