St. Gerard Majella was beatified in Rome on 29 January 1893 by Pope Leo XIII. He was canonized less than twelve years later on 11 December 1904 by Pope Pius X.The feast day of Saint Gerard Majella is October 16.
In 1977, St. Gerard’s Chapel in St. Lucy’s Church (Newark, New Jersey) was dedicated as a national shrine. Each year during the Feast days, which include October 16, there are traditional lights, music, food stands and a street procession. People come from all over to celebrate. Devotees also visit the shrine throughout the year to petition the help of St. Gerard.[9]
The St. Gerard Majella Annual Novena takes place every year at St. Josephs Church in Dundalk, Ireland. This annual nine-day novena is the biggest festival of faith in Ireland. St. Joseph’s sponsors the St. Gerard’s Family League, an association of Christians united in prayer for their own and other families, to preserve Christian values in their home and family lives.
