Who We Are
Mission
Help women deepen their understanding of spiritual motherhood, grow in their relationship with Mary, and discover and strengthen the spiritual tools which empower them to serve confidently.
Vision
To nurture faith, evangelize, and bring healing to the culture. Rooted in a deep devotion to Mary as our Spiritual Mother and the true leader of this ministry, participants embrace their call to imitate her womanly role in spreading the Gospel.
About Us
We began as a grass roots fellowship of women who minister in various ways in the Catholic Church gathered together by Carol Marquardt our foundress.
We were greatly inspired by the teaching of Pope St John Paul II regarding women and spiritual motherhood.
Officially approved by the Bishop of the Diocese of St Petersburg, we have been mentored by priests from the Diocese of St Petersburg Florida and the Diocese of Gaylord Michigan which were the founding groups.
A Council of Advisors experienced over many years in healing and evangelizing ministries helped form the program.
Through our formation program, we train and encourage a network of Spiritual Mothers who courageously bring the Gospel into the world under Mary’s mantle. Our mission is to spiritually mother others while joyfully collaborating with the Body of Christ: men and women, lay and religious alike. We seek to transform hearts by leading others to God through the gifts of spiritual motherhood: recognizing Christ in every face, seeing with sensitivity, embracing without fear, listening with empathy, leading with generosity, and nurturing with compassion.
