Rev. Mary Ann Trifaro
We are honored to have Rev. Mary Ann as our spiritual leader, dedicated to steering us towards oneness, creativity, and the joy of existence. Her wisdom and unwavering commitment inspire us to explore our spiritual potential and celebrate the beauty of shared existence.

This serendipitous encounter marked a transformative chapter, reshaping her perspective and setting her on a journey of deep self-discovery.
Discovering the tenets of Science of Mind became a guiding light, leading Rev. Mary Ann to a profound understanding of the Divine Presence within us.
