About S.T. Martin

I am a Catholic writer and poet who holds an A.B. in Economics from Princeton University and Master's Degree in Public and Private Management from Yale University. Politically, I support a Catholic Monarchy as being the highest form of civil government, whereby the Monarch is non-ecclesial yet nevertheless serves as the right arm of the Church. A former Methodist who was also familiar with Evangelical communities as a youth, I joined the Catholic Church on Easter of 1985. The grace of my conversion came about on October 1, 1984 through the Virgin Mary and the intercession of St. Thérèse of Lisieux on her Feast Day. Years later my life was saved through the Virgin Mary and the intercession of St. Joan of Arc on July 17, 2006, the day we celebrate Joan's victorious entry into Rheims. I now dedicate my life and writings in honor of my "saintly sisters," the Virgin Mary, and our mighty Lord in His radiant Divine Mercy. "To Jesus through Mary in the friendship and sisterly care of Sts. Joan and Thérèse!"
