Our identity

ABOUT STELLA MARIS

Stella Maris women cultivate sisterhood, inspired by Our Lady and guided by St. Catherine, St. Thomas, and St. Martin.

As the women of Stella Maris, we seek to cultivate sisterhood and community under the intercession and guidance of Our Lady Star of the Sea. We do this by following the examples of our patrons: St. Catherine of Siena, St. Thomas Aquinas, and St. Martin de Porres. Through our weekly commitments and daily reflections, we strive toward the virtues of moderation, purity, and dignity.
