"The knot of Eve's diosobedience was untied by the obedience of Mary; what the virgin Eve bound by her unbelief, the Virgin Mary loosened by her faith" -St. Irenaeus

Femme or Faux is on a mission for Mary, Queen of Heaven, the New Eve! This ministry proclaims that each lady is a daughter (and heir!) of God. It seeks to mentor and equip ladies with truth that will guide them in life. Through talks, books, and media, ladies are invited to embrace the crown, that comes with authentic femininity, and reject the curse.

The Princess Guide uses fairy tales—specifically the stories of three  princesses (Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty)—to inspire young women to dignity, femininity, and fervent faith. With a timeless yet relevant voice, it explores  issues important  to  women  today. Scenes from the fairy tales are the backdrop for a new way to look at beauty, vocation, sexuality and chastity, modesty in fashion, and friendship. Personal stories and passages from Scripture, the wisdom of the saints, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church help you discover the princess within.

Road Signs for Catholic Teens offers new drivers tips on how to make the local roadway a path to God. Not unlike stain glass windows, icons, or saintly statues, road signs have the potential to express the faith. You've got the keys to the car, but how about the Kingdom? God still speaks, and he has something to say to you! Highlights include Faith and Science (Deer Crossing), Dating (Single Lanes End, Merge), and Christian Charity (Yield). It's time to become a road pilgrim!

Presenting the "Be" Series

 

This seven talk series offered by Jennessa invites young women to understand what it means to “be” a woman in the eyes of Christ. Jennessa engages audiences through a dynamic approach (stories, props, audience involvement, dramatization, a hint of fairy tales, and a deep love for Theology). Talks are best suited for high school and college students, and even mom and daugher events. Pick 2 or 3 topics for a retreat, just one talk for an event, or even run the entire series, offering one talk a month.
