Receiving missionary formation at The Sanctuary Academy in Chicago, Elizabeth (Beth) Riordan returns to Pennsylvania in 2026 to launch a community of families around an innovative, Catholic homeschool hybrid. Beth is excited to launch her mission, cultivated and inspired by St. John Paul II’s call for the building of a Civilization of Love.Her full vision includes this montessori-rooted, entrepreneur-fostering educational model, combined with centers for the arts and healing as well as a biodynamic farm! Beth is passionate for healing the whole person as well as the land we are given. She greatly enjoys encountering the Lord with children through Catechesis of the Good Shepherd and praying with “both lungs” of the Church - the Eastern and Latin rites.
