When brainstorming which speakers we would ask to give talks for Red Stick Catholic Fest (the Diocese of Baton Rouge’s youth conference), Erin was on the top of everyone’s list. She has such a unique gift to be able to speak to her audiences with intentionality and authenticity. If you’re looking for a speaker for your next event, we cannot recommend Erin enough!”
-Nicole Jones, The Diocese of Baton Rouge
Living a life of holiness and motherhood is a tall order, and we can use all the help we can get! Erin’s Mom in Peace Online Workshop is such a blessing of tools to add to our spiritual, mental, and emotional toolkits. The setup of the workshop is flexible and laidback, making it easy to work around the varied and busy lives of moms! Every aspect is well worth the investment of time and treasure!”
-Jena, November 2020 Mom in Peace Online Workshop participant
Erin Franco captivated the St. Pius Mother’s Ministry with practical and spiritual tools that are relevant to combating guilt, fear, comparison and discouragement that we encounter daily through our journey as women and mothers. We can’t wait to have Erin for future speaking engagements!
-Alysia Gauthreaux, St. Pius X Church Mother’s Ministry Leadership Director & Community Development Director
