St. Gerard’s Community of Care was named in 1952 in honor of Msgr. Gerard Bierens, then pastor of St. Philip’s Parish, and for St. Gerard Majella, the patron of expectant mothers. In those years Hankinson had no nearby hospital and many families were growing. Fargo’s Bishop Leo Dworshak asked the Sisters to begin and staff a hospital for these families. St. Gerard was born at Muro, Italy, in 1726 and joined the Redemptorists at the age of 23, becoming a professed lay brother in 1752. His charity, obedience, and selfless service as well as his ceaseless mortification for Christ, made him the perfect model of lay brothers.
