SUNDAE up(DATES)
Being a Catholic woman in the modern world can feel lonely sometimes.
Not because you don't love Jesus or His Church.
But because you just haven't found community in a similar stage of life as you.
That's what Sundae Rest is for.
That's what the Sundae Rest is for.
You're not behind.
You're just in a season that
isn't celebrated and given community for.
a sweet space for the messy + beautiful parts of being a Catholic woman in the modern world.

Process the real moments. Celebrate the small wins. Have real convos.
And keep growing with Jesus at the center.
And yes, we really do love ice cream after Mass!

What to Expect Inside the Sundae Rest 🍨
You’re not doing this alone anymore.
Real conversations, real gals, real experiences.
Opportunities throughout the month for virtual convos.
We don't just go, go, go. We pause.
We help each other identify what's not working, look at the roadblocks, and build a life that actually feels like yours.
The small wins matter here.
We encourage, support, and cheer each other on — through the growth, the hard seasons, and the ordinary Tuesdays nobody else notices.
Meet Mary.
founder & LOVER OF JESUS AND ICE CREAM
Mary creates modern Catholic content around faith, friendship, rest, and modern life.
After years of being in Catholic spaces and still longing for something more honest, she created the Sundae Rest as a space for women throughout the world to slow down, find real friendship, and stop doing life alone.
Mary lives on the philosophy that your ideal Sunday doesn't start once you've found your person or figured everything out. It starts right now, in the season you're actually in.
So whether you're navigating dating, friendship changes, young adulthood, or just craving a community that actually gets it, the Sundae Rest is your place to find your people. So glad you're here. 🤍

Sundae is for...
Sundae Rest is for Catholic women in their 20s and 30s who want real community, honest conversations, and a place to slow down and do life with other women who get it.
This might look like:
-you're navigating dating and want women to process it with
-you're craving real Catholic friendship but don't know where to find it
-you want to slow down but need a community doing it with you
-you feel like you're doing life alone and want a space to actually share
You'll probably love this space if...
-you don't have many Catholic friends to talk about real life with
-you want to live intentionally but still be fully yourself
you're tired of trying to figure everything out on your own
-you want a place where you can be honest, not perfect
-you love ice cream and celebrating the small stuff 🍨
This space might not be for you if...
-you're looking for step by step rules or a purely instructional environment
-you're not open to reflecting on your own patterns and growth
-you want a purely theological or lecture style environment
-you're not interested in community or sharing at all
They're live, hosted by Mary, and structured like a chill but intentional hour with friends.
We start with highs, lows, and ice cream flavor of the week. A prayer and then a mini topic or theme for the week. After the topic you'll have a few reflection questions and then get placed in breakout rooms to share with others.
Women bring what's actually happening in their lives.
Something they're processing, something they're learning, a win they want to celebrate. Usually based on the topic of the week.
It's a time to go deeper into the things you're already carrying, with women who are in similar seasons of life.
Sometimes you'll be placed in groups based on age, location, or season of life. But typically groups are random. We can learn so much through each other's experiences.
One of our community values is no faceless meetings. We believe showing up in person, even virtually, matters.
So yes, cameras on is the norm. It's part of what makes this feel like a real community rather than just a random group you signed up for. Cheers to that! 🤍

Most Wednesdays there's an hour long live call from 7:30 to 8:30pm CST.
Outside of that there are various events throughout the month like Sundae Social Hours, Reflection nights, Prayer Nights, and Open Sundae Sessions where you can drop in and chat.
Everything is optional, but we hope you can make it to the virtual events. And yes, we hope to have IRL events soon! 🤍

You'll find your footing. The community is warm and the calls aren't high-pressure. You can listen, drop things in the chat, share when you're ready. There's no performance required here.
That said, we do have time for reflection before you share. This way you're able to think about what you want to say before you share! We have found this to be helpful for internal processors.

Sundae is a monthly subscription. We simply ask that you are single or dating to be a part of the community (not engaged or married) + between the ages of 21-39.
You can cancel anytime from your Skool account (the platform we use for community). The founding member price is locked in as long as you stay — so if you leave and come back, you'd rejoin at the current rate.

A group of women in their 20s and 30s who are intentional about growing in their faith while also being honest about what modern life actually feels like.
This is a space for the in between moments.
The things you're processing.
The questions you don't always say out loud.
The season you're in right now, whatever it looks like.
We're here to be a little oasis in your everyday life. A place where you can slow down, share what's on your mind and heart, and not feel like you have to figure it all out alone.
While this isn't counseling or therapy, it is a community of women who share a common goal.
To grow in holiness in this very moment, regardless of where life has you.
To live fully. To stay grounded. To savor Sundae. 🍨
Life is both messy and meaningful. And every Sunday, through the Holy Mass, we're reminded to bring it all to the Lord. The highs, the lows, and everything in between.
We value honesty here. Sometimes that means naming things that feel real, not just what sounds nice.
If you're looking for a space that only stays on the surface, this might not be for you. But if you're looking for depth, encouragement, and real conversations, you'll feel right at home.
As The Sundae Rest grows, we hope to host in person gatherings and keep building a community that supports you not just online but in real life too.
We're really glad you're here. 🤍
