Our Story

Through Mary, to Jesus, in the Divine Will.

On our 25th wedding anniversary, Gloria and I made a promise to pray the Rosary together every day. We wanted to grow closer to each other and to Mary. Nine months later, on September 8, the feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, our friend Ed Bauer introduced me to the writings of Luisa Piccarreta. That was how I first learned about the Gift of Living in the Divine Will.

On Christmas Eve 2016, as I prepared for quadruple bypass surgery, I asked that my heart be restarted in the Divine Will.

Why we began Your Faith Anew!

In the spring of 2017, Gloria and I felt called to help people celebrate the centennial of Our Lady’s apparitions at Fatima. That October we founded Your Faith Anew! We wanted to help Catholics fall in love with their faith, grow in their knowledge of it, and remain in a state of grace. We hoped to encourage one another to share the Gospel, give glory to God, and become saints.

Our mission is to make the Gift of Living in the Divine Will known and loved through Mary.

The Pilgrim Virgin in family homes

Our friend Phyllis Ide introduced us to the Pilgrim Virgin Statue ministry. After we moved to Orlando, we began our own ministry. We are members of the World Apostolate of Fatima and follow its teachings, methods, and publications.

We purchased our statue in Fatima and traveled with her through eight countries, visiting nine official apparition sites. We tell the story of that journey in Our Pilgrimage with the Pilgrim Virgin.

Of all the places we’ve taken our statue, the visits that mean the most to us are the ones in family homes. We began by praying the Rosary together in our own home. It is a joy to see another family make room in theirs for devotion to Jesus and Mary.
