Mary Dufresne Harper was raised as a cradle Catholic in New Orleans. She received her Master of Arts and Bachelor of Arts degrees in theology from Ave Maria University, where she met her husband, John-Paul Harper (a fellow theologian). One of her greatest joys was teaching high school theology for four years at an all-girls Catholic school on the East Coast.
She is the founder of LiturgicalStyle.com, where she focuses on the theological significance of clothing based on Scripture, the stories of the saints and the liturgical calendar. She also can be found on Instagram at @liturgicalstyle.
In addition, she continues writing for Litany NYC, a Catholic made-to-measure clothing company that prioritizes Catholic social teaching in the production process. Her book, The Liturgical Style Guide, is now available.
