The essentially- missionary order is dedicated to "preaching the word of God to the poor." Its apostolate is principally in giving of missions and retreats. The order was founded in 1732 by Alphonsus Liguori (1696-1787) at Scala, near Naples. In 1749, he joined the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, known as Redemptorists. He tried to join the Capuchin Order twice, but his health prevented it. He divided his earnings between his mother and the poor and in offerings for the souls in Purgatory. Upon the bishop's death, Gerard returned to his trade, working first as a journeyman and then on his own account. After four years of apprenticeship, he took a job as a servant to work for the local Bishop of Lacedonia. The boy kept silent, but his uncle soon found out and the man who taught him resigned from the job. His mother, Benedetta Galella, then sent him to her brother so that he could teach Gerard to sew and follow in his father's footsteps. He was the son of Domenico Maiella, a tailor who died when Gerard was twelve, leaving the family in poverty. He was frail, and his parents had him baptized the day he was born. Majella was born in Muro Lucano on 6 April 1726, the youngest of five children. His intercession is sought for children, unborn children, women in childbirth, mothers, expectant mothers, motherhood, the falsely accused, good confessions, lay brothers and Muro Lucano, Italy.
