Maureen, a Massachusetts native, Catholic mystic, and author of Heaven’s Helper: My Little Star, shares an extraordinary spiritual journey that offers readers insight into God’s presence, His miraculous power, discernment and the spiritual guidance He desires humanity to understand. Through her experiences, she seeks to help others deepen their relationship with God and advance their spiritual journey toward Heaven.
In 1989, Maureen’s life changed unexpectedly when she began experiencing unexplained phenomena and manifestations that were later discerned to be demonic attacks. For seven years, she endured these disturbances until she was guided to the gifted Italian priest, Fr. Aniello Salicone, who carefully evaluated and affirmed the authenticity of her experiences. During this time, Maureen came to understand that God had chosen her for a special purpose. God revealed to her if she accepted, she would be helping souls return to Him. Once she accepted she began a profound transformation, shifting her focus from worldly pursuits to a life centered on God. This journey included three years of spiritual formation under the guidance of Jesus, the Blessed Mother, and St. Michael. The process was challenging and often filled with tears, struggles, and sacrifice, ultimately leading her to detach from material concerns and embrace the transformative power of God’s love.
For more than 25 years, Maureen has served alongside numerous priests in healing and deliverance ministries and has traveled extensively with Catholic healing priests across the United States. In addition to speaking engagements, she currently helps lead a monthly healing service with two Catholic priests at her parish outside Boston. Maureen has a letter of good standing/suitability from her local Bishop.
Maureen also dedicated ten years to volunteering with pediatric cancer patients and their families, where she witnessed what she describes as many remarkable blessings and miracles. Throughout her ministry, she believes God has worked through her as an instrument of healing, both spiritual and physical. Some reported healings have been medically documented and are shared on her website, along with accounts of several bilocation experiences.
Maureen consistently emphasizes that all glory belongs to God and considers herself merely a willing instrument and servant of His work. Her mission has been supported by numerous Catholic priests, a growing international community, and many testimonies from individuals whose lives have been positively impacted through her ministry.
Heaven’s Helper: My Little Star, which chronicles her spiritual journey, has been warmly received by readers and continues to maintain a 5 star rating on Amazon. Maureen is a frequent guest on Catholic podcasts and media platforms, where she shares her experiences, ongoing ministry, and messages of hope.
