Founding Coordinator

Marilyn Quirk

We are delighted to introduce you to our beloved Marilyn Quirk, founding Coordinator of Magnificat for 31 years and now Coordinator Emeritus of its Central Service Team.  Much like a spiritual mother to all of her Magnificat daughters, she is truly God’s gift sent to us for these exciting times in which we live.

While studying to become an Episcopal medical missionary in 1958, Marilyn converted to Catholicism.  Devoted to Our Lady and attentive to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, she has been involved in the Catholic Charismatic Renewal since 1970. Presently, she serves as a member of the Steering Committee for the Southern Regional Conference and has served on the National Leadership Council of the Renewal.

Striving to live a life of devoted service to God, her family and her church, she and her husband, Peter, are especially proud of their six children and thirteen grandchildren.  Members of the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre and Legatus, Marilyn and Peter have served their parish, St. Angela Merici in New Orleans, as extraordinary ministers of the Eucharist.
