Why Mater Amabilis?
Mater Amabilis (pronounced MAH tur ah MAH bih liss) is a title of Our Lady in the Litany of Loreto (Mother Most Amiable). It is one of the intermediate advocations that qualify or characterize the person of Mary as mother. Mary, under the title Mater Amabilis, is our patron and our model.
Our prayer is that our children may always see us as “mother most amiable” and that the Mater Amabilis curriculum and all those who use it and support one another in it will assist in fulfilling that role.
The inspiration for the name Mater Amabilis was the Catholic parish of the same name located in Ambleside, England, where Charlotte Mason lived and taught.
Who we are
The authors of this program are Kathryn Faulkner, British mother of three, and Michele Quigley, American mother of ten: two mothers an ocean apart yet bonded in friendship by their love of the Catholic Faith and mutual respect for Charlotte Mason.
