Publishing NEW Book: “Faithful Until the End”

I am excited to share that we are publishing another book specifically for those living in separation while remaining faithful to their marriage vows. Our earlier title, The Gift of Self, was written by a woman who herself was abandoned by her husband. That heartfelt work has been a valuable resource in our monthly support conference calls, offering encouragement and solidarity to the Separated Faithful.

Our newest release takes a more scholarly approach. It is an adapted English translation of an Italian master’s thesis written by Marcelo Fiaes, who graduated summa cum laude from the Pontifical John Paul Institute for the Sciences of Marriage and Family, Pontifical Lateran University.

The content offers deeper theological insight while staying true to the pastoral needs of Catholics enduring separation.  Find free PDF or order your copy.

If you are interested in helping us share this work, we would be glad to send a copy to your local diocesan seminary. Simply write me at ma.defending@marysadvocates.org, and we can work together to develop a plan for getting it into the hands of those forming future priests.
