St. Mary Magdalene's mode of being is the aletheian fount of Catholic and Royal France in our hearts. St. Joan of Arc and St. Thérèse are our guides along the Trail of the Dogmatic Creed to the kingdom, a trail made apparent by the soft light of Magdalene's glory.
Our mission is the renaissance of Our Lady's Catholic and Royal France in hearts worldwide and the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in Heaven through France, the Eldest Daughter of the Church.

We are who we are in the kingdom because of God’s will, Our Lady’s goodwill, and Magdalene’s Ladyship of Mystical France. God's grace flows like a fountain into our hearts through the Virgin Mary and Magdalene.
Our History
Our Mission
Our History
The Lord's great commission tied St. Mary Magdalene to France. As the "apostle to the apostles," the saint whom Jesus imbued with divine understanding at the tomb of the resurrection, she brought the apostolic faith to the shores of what later would be called France. This connection was the first mystical pairing of France to the Kingdom of God.

Journey to Magdalene's France with St. Joan and St. Thérèse
The House of New Bethany opened before me through the combined hearts of St. Joan of Arc and St. Thérèse of Lisieux. With St. Joan as my point of entry, the phenomenon of Magdalene's role in founding Catholic and Royal France appeared before me. The Dove and Rose II brings together the phenomenology, philosophy, and devotional reflections describing this appearance.
This book can never be finished. That is why I am publishing it as the first edition. The text will no doubt continue to develop, and I will release future substantive increments as new editions to the same title. This manuscript is the extended presentation of The Friench Catholic Diaspora, published separately. Therefore, the two books contain duplicative material, but The Dove and Rose II offers significantly more.
The Dove and Rose II is purposely named to reflect an association with The Dove and Rose published over a decade past. The original was a devotional collection of reflections on the combined hearts of St. Joan of Arc and St. Thérèse of Lisieux. It has developed phenomenologically over the years into a much more mature expression that I call The Dove and Rose II. This book is an outline of my journey into the heart of St. Joan of Arc through the hermeneutics of St. Thérèse. Its phenomenology is influenced by the philosophical insights of St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, also known as St. Edith Stein.
The reader looking for the stories of St. Joan of Arc and St. Thérèse will not find them. This book reveals my own spiritual journey with these two saintly sisters. The interpretations, conclusions, and assertions are my own. However, what the reader might uncover with some imagination and contemplative reflection is the appearance of a story appearing out of the mist of one’s own spiritual life which has universal meaning. There is no prescriptive formula in this book, only a series of points of light along a pathway through the dark night of faith. It is a journey with St. Joan and St. Thérèse to the mystical Kingdom of Catholic and Royal France in the center of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. These points of light beckon the reader to develop their own meaningful expression of friendship with St. Joan of Arc and St. Thérèse. That story - your story - remains to be written.

Catholicism
A dogmatic confession of Catholic faith
A dogmatic confession of the Catholic faith is the rock upon which The House of New Bethany rests. No one enters this kingdom but through the castle gateway of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.
