Where Spouses Discover God’s Plan for Their Family
Together in Holiness is a marriage conference series for dioceses that inspires spouses to grow together in holiness and empowers parents to form their children in the Catholic faith. To learn more about the Together in Holiness marriage enrichment initiative, click here.
  • "A one-day conference is so much more feasible for us in this era of raising littles, so Together in Holiness has become our annual conference to rejuvenate our marriage. I am so grateful for childcare, the great speakers, Adoration, Confession, and just time to have an uninterrupted conversation with my spouse!"

HANNAH AND ERIC MABRY

Dr. Eric A. Mabry is Hannah’s husband. Together they have seven children. Eric is also an associate professor of theology, fellow of the core, and director of graduate studies in theology at the University of St. Thomas (Houston, TX). He has a decade worth of teaching experience and has designed or taught over two dozen different courses, delivered in multiple iterations and modalities. Prior to joining the faculty of St. Thomas, he was the assistant dean at St. Mary’s Seminary and University (Baltimore, MD), where he taught philosophy and systematic theology from 2020-2022. He served as the Department Chair of Systematic Theology at Christ the King Seminary (East Aurora, NY) from 2018-2020. He was the interim director for the Lonergan Research Institute in Toronto (Canada) from 2016-2017. He is currently working on a book project dedicated to the contemplation of the mysteries of Christ’s interior life. He has published articles in journals such as Heythrop, the Lonergan Review, and New Blackfriars. He has contributed academic essays to volumes published by Wipf & Stock and Marquette University Press. Hannah is the proud wife of her husband, Eric. She is a full-time homeschooling mother of seven children, ages 15 to 5 years old. Prior to getting married, Hannah left the farm as a self-educated homeschool graduate, sent herself to a liberal arts college, and went on to work as a personal assistant to the VP of Sales for StarQuest Expeditions, a private jet world travel company. After getting married, Hannah first served as a division coordinator at Lone Star College and later as an administrative assistant at the Lone Star System Office in the Woodlands, TX until the birth of her first child. Today, she marvels at how much she enjoys the daunting task of educating and learning alongside her children and participating in a life devoted to seeking truth. She enjoys being home with her family, going on long walks with Eric, creating beautiful spaces, and watching her children grow around her. Sharing in an academic’s life has entailed a great deal of travel: From Houston to Toronto, from Toronto to Baltimore, and from Baltimore back to Houston again! At each stage, Hannah has grown in her understanding of children’s education and her own pedagogical philosophy has matured and sharpened in its focus. She has found the teachings of Charlotte Mason to be a special source of inspiration for how she curates education and learning in the Mabry home.
