Theresa & Peter Martin

Peter and Theresa began dating in Rome, Italy on their study abroad program in Catholic Studies.  During their engagement, they discerned to commit their lives to serving the Catholic Church in the area of Marriage and Family. Returning to Rome for studies, they began their adventure of serving God. Peter received an STL from the John Paul II Institute of Marriage and Family. Peter began his diocesan work as the Director of the Office of Life, Marriage & Family in 2010 for the Diocese of Winona-Rochester, MN. Together, they have continued to serve engaged and married couples throughout the region with talks, retreats, marriage preparation and enrichment. Theresa completed her Masters degree in Theology, Marriage & Family specificity, in 2019 from the Maryvale Institute in Birmingham, England. It was through her studies that these newly rediscovered texts were found and brought to the English speaking world. They live in the countryside with their eight children and are excited to build a committed, Catholic community and live their faith in joy!

Peter serves as the President of the Board of Directors, while Theresa serves as the Executive Director of the WCI.
