This week’s episode:
“Blessed are They”: St Gianna Molla
“Among Women” Guest: Kathleen Berchelmann, MD
This week we review the life of St Gianna Molla, a 20th century saint who was a wife, mother, and pediatrician who died following complications related to the birth of her fourth child.
In our Among Women conversation segment, we meet Dr. Kathleen Berchelmann, a St Louis wife, mother, and pediatrician and founder of CatholicPediatrics.com. Dr Berchelman, not only shares why families benefit from having Catholic pediatricians, but she also tackles the tough moral questions on medical issues for pre-teen and teen girls. Specially, our conversation covers the Gardisil vaccine, oral contraception for teens with problematic menstrual cycles, and other concerns regarding their development.

Positively perfectly timed for our girls and our family. The statistics are frightening, the the “obligations” of physicians despite moral beliefs is mind-blowing and the direction our government is forcing our society in is beyond scary. Thank you for the useful information, it definitely gave me a lot to chew on.
