UPDATED to say that you can reach Donna-Marie at: DMCOBoyle@aol.com to inquire about her speaking availability. The form on the “Invite Donna-Marie” page might not be working properly and we will try to get it resolved soon. Thank you for your patience!

Donna-Marie also speaks to groups of children (faith formation classes and more) about the Saints and about the Blessed Mother, and more.
