Bio:
Miriam Marston is a speaker/author/singer-songwriter based in Portland, OR. She released her first album Shades of an Eternal in 2000, while a freshman at the College of William and Mary. In the years that followed, she kept up the writing, as she moved from Virginia to England to Boston to Oregon, even if it meant writing something on a mostly-broken piano in the basement of a university she wasn't enrolled in. In 2010, she released her second album, The Luggage of an Optimist, a collection of songs born out of the in-between moments of traveling through airports and train stations. She's been a featured artist on a number of radio stations, including Archangel Radio, Mater Dei Radio, Ave Maria Radio, and WQOM Boston.
In addition to the song-writing, Miriam published her first book What I Learned in Oxford, in January, 2015. Her second book, The Memory of Good was released in the fall of 2015. For a number of years, she was a contributor to Oblation, a blog run by the Notre Dame Center for Liturgy. She has given talks at college retreats, parish missions, private events, and even bars (google "Theology on Tap", if you're curious).
Miriam serves as director of faith formation for St. Anthony parish in Tigard.
She is a consecrated virgin of the Archdiocese of Portland in Oregon. You can listen to her remarks at the end of the consecration Mass HERE.
