About Us
Gerard and Rita are two ordinary people that God has graced with extraordinary
blessings. Residing in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada, this couple lead ordinary lives, Gerard
runs a construction business and Rita is a special education teacher. This couple met
at the young age of 14 and 15, and went on to marry 6 years later, on March 11th,
1988 (Friday at 3:00pm). Almighty God has blessed them with one beautiful child, a
son, Andrew Gerard.
This couple is a radical witness to the
Almighty power of Jesus Christ and His Holy Mother. In 2002, through the powerful
intercession of Our Lady, this couple has been lifted from the depths of despair and
destruction and has been resurrected and restored to new life. God has implanted
in them an earnest desire to spread the message of hope and the sacredness of the
covenant of marriage. They are the founders of "Marriages for Mary", a retreat based ministry which offers
the opportunity for couples to experience hope for renewal, restoration and joy filled
marriages. Their hope is that married couples would come to know the beauty of this
vocation, experience mystical oneness and to become a visible and radiant sign of God's
Love in this darkened world.
Gerard and Rita's Testimony: Medjugorje 2012
So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation:
everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new!
(2 Corinthians 5:17)
