“Therefore, put on the armor of God, that you may be able to resist on the evil day and, having done everything, to hold your ground. So stand fast with your loins girded in truth, clothed with righteousness as a breastplate, and your feet shod in readiness for the gospel of peace.” Ephesians 6:14-15

Ola Prochorski

Ola is a Massachusetts Native and speech pathologist. It is Ola’s hope that Pure in Heart, by promoting purity in our world and building community focused on Catholic teachings, will provide a refuge for Catholic young adults to learn about their faith and grow closer to their heavenly Father.

“And behold, Elizabeth, your relative, has also conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren; for nothing will be impossible for God.”
Luke 1: 36-37

Nicole Rudolph

Nicole is currently working on her doctorate in International Relations on Ecumenism and Issues of Life/Sexuality with the Sorbonne and French educator in the Boston area. She desires that the truth about sexuality as expressed by John Paul II’s Theology of the Body set people free to live an ethos of love, and to educate others on up-to-date empirical evidence which confirms Church teaching.

“Now to him who is able to accomplish far more than all we ask or imagine, by the power at work within us, to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” Ephesians 3:20-21
