Donations to this fund will be split evenly between our two favorite local charities: Martha's House of Hope and the Ames Romero House. Martha's House of Hope provides a loving home in a family-style environment for pregnant women, focused on helping mothers grow spiritually, emotionally, and intellectually throughout pregnancy and into early motherhood. The Ames Romero House is a Catholic grassroots community that invites those experiencing poverty into loving community and friendship.

Fund to fill our home with beautiful sacred art

A Catholic study Bible for daily prayer in our home that will last for generations.

We'll be starting our honeymoon in Lisieux, France, for a pilgrimage to entrust our marriage to one of our favorite Saints, St. Thérèse of Lisieux, and her parents, Sts. Louis and Zélie Martin. Sts. Louis and Zélie are famous Patrons of marriage and family life, and we are excited to ask for their help in bringing each other to Heaven and raising a bunch of little Saints as they did!This gift will help us eat plenty of pastries while we're there :)

After spending some time in Lisieux, we'll head south to Lourdes, France, to visit the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes, one of the greatest Catholic pilgrimage sites in the world. Your generosity could help us take the train across France to get there!

We'll be spending a few days in Paris on our honeymoon, and would love to enjoy lots of picnics in the park together!
