Saint Vincent de Paul ( featured, bottom left ), Saint Margaret ( featured, center ) and Saint Philomena ( featured top-left hand corner ), together with Abby and Eli Manning, are teaming with the Saint Vincent's Catholic Medical Center, among others, to help "connect Science and Compassion" when bringing new babies into the world, it was announced today, in the New York Times.
Abby and Eli Manning are probably most well-known as graduates of the prestigious "Old Miss," located in, you guessed it, the State of Mississippi.
We asked Saints Vincent de Paul, Margaret, and Philomena, how Abby and Eli Manning became involved with the hospital and charity and Vincent replied that the couple have "always been involved in philanthropic endeavors in efforts to help others." Margaret and Philomena chimed in that Eli Manning was "some guy who liked sports in New York City" and "Abby has always been maternalistic."
Saint Sebastian, patron of athletes, pulled us aside and noted that Eli Manning is a professional football player, Super Bowl Champion, and the winner of USA Today's Weekend Magazine's "Most Caring Athlete," to which Saint Margaret and Saint Philomena said "Whatever!"
The Baby Ball Fund Raiser will be held at The Ciprian, 55 Wall Street, New York, N.Y. (Telephone 212.699.4099) on June 18th, with NBC Televisions NFL Analyst Bob Costa serving as Master of Ceremonies.
The Eli & Abby Manning Birth Center at Saint Vincent's Hospital, will aid its longstanding reputation as a hallmark "Midwifery College," and help create a superior environment for Obstetrics and Natural Child Birthing.
Becoming further interested in the topic of Natural Child Birthing SaintsforSinners contacted a young woman in New Orleans, Katie Anderson, who said her child Samuel Lennon Anderson, was "born naturally, with no anesthesia, no pain medicine, no drugs at all." Katie said that giving birth to Sam naturally was "the most important, most life-affirming, womanhood affirming" event of her life. Anderson continued, adding "Natural Child Birth is important. Obstetrics can be invasive and pharmaceutically driven and tech-heavy." It is better for a pregnant woman to simply "listen to her body. Listen to her baby. I want to have another baby just so I can experience natural childbirth again," she added.
Katie Anderson praised Eli and Abby Manning for becoming involved in the field of Natural Child Birthing. 'We went about the birthing with the help of an experienced midwife or "Doula," Rebecca Hageman, who served as our birthing coach." Rebecca Hageman has been assisting women with Natural Child Birth for decades and in New Orleans and other places, including Guatemala.
We asked Katie Anderson if she had anything to add and she said she was happy that Abby & Eli Manning were part of the Natural Childbirth Movement. She said that people interested in the topic and other prospective parents can learn more about Natural Child Birth by watching the Documentary "The Business of Being Born." Katie, Saint Vincent de Paul, Saint Margaret and Saint Philomena, as well as Katie's infant son Samuel, all congratulate the Mannings for creating The Eli & Abby Manning Birthing Center" and helping pregnant woman realize the viable, rewarding, "life-affirming" experience known as Natural Child Birth.
