Fox News Digital spoke to Mary Pat Jahner, founder of the Saint Gianna & PIetro Molla Maternity Home in Warsaw, North Dakota, about her ministry, her children and her faith.
After each school year ended, Jahner would spend her summers volunteering with groups such as the Missionaries of Charity. One summer, after volunteering at the Missionaries of Charity's maternity home in California, Jahner "kind of fell in love with that work," she told Fox News Digital. "Obviously, if they need to come to a maternity home, not everything is perfect in their life." Children who are younger than first grade are welcome to live in the home with their mothers as well. "We are also their family when they leave." "We were just going to snuggle as much as we could over the weekend." Christine Rousselle is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
"And through a whole turn of events that really started in the Jubilee Year 2000, I decided, 'Why don't we have something like that here? You know, in North Dakota,'" she said in a phone interview.
