Hi, I’m Marilyn Rodrigues

I’m a wife to Peter and mother to five young children. We live in Sydney. I write a regular column for Sydney’s Catholic archdiocesan newspaper, The Catholic Weekly.

I’m also the editor of the CathFamily e-newsletter, the FRANKLY bookazine and am a contributor to the Catholic radio program The Journey. God’s biggest joke with me is having made me a minimalist mother-of-five. Our second biggest is that I’m not nearly as good and holy at 40 as I imagined I was already at 20.

I’m good at cleaning and at hanging out laundry. Not bad at cooking. I get a lot of practice in. I enjoy knitting, gardening, candle-making, and fish-keeping, but don’t do much of any of them. Welcome to my website and you are quite welcome, also, to drop me a line via the contact form below.
