Mary Donellan

I’m so glad you came! I’m a young woman from the Deep South who’s passionate for traditional Catholic living and for sanctifying the home and family life. As a homeschool graduate, writer, tutor, Godmother, and the immensely happy female half in an old-fashioned Catholic courtship, I’m daily discovering how God has planted some of His most beautiful graces inside our most ordinary realities as families. This is never more true than inside the home, where you can find a sink full of dishes, a messy laundry pile, a family altar, a lit candle, and a Catholic family striving for sainthood!

Piety, kindness, modesty, purity, industry, joy: Catholic femininity

A thought to ponder . . .

Restore religion to its rightful place in the home; let religion direct, control and permeate the family life, and not only will the individual have the safeguard he needs against the evils of society, but society itself will be transformed.

Celestine Strub, The Christian Home

Catholic courtship: Our story

Pursuing the virtuous life

It is harder toil to resist vices and passions, than to sweat in bodily labors. He that avoideth not small faults, by little and little falleth into greater. Thou wilt always rejoice in the evening, if thou spend the day profitably. Be watchful over thyself, stir up thyself, warn thyself, and whatsoever becometh of others, neglect not thyself. The more violent thou uses against thyself, the more shalt thou progress.

-Thomas a Kempis, The Imitation of Christ

Talks on Traditional Catholic Courtship

One of my favorite talks on the subject! In charity, please say three Hail Mary's for the priest who preaches these sermons and the laity who maintain the site, and ask others to do the same.

Another wonderful talk! Scroll down to "Conferences given by Fr. Ripperger in other locations" This talk is PenanceWare - Offer one decade of the Rosary, or an act of penance for the intentions of Fr. Ripperger
