Gifts of Faith, Grace, and Meaning
Thoughtfully curated collections at Marie Madeleine reflect the beauty of Catholic tradition while keeping Christ at the heart of the season.
Marie Madeleine (the French spelling of “Mary Magdalene”) is a thoughtfully curated online Catholic boutique founded by Baton Rouge native Monika Guiberteau, and dedicated to providing the tools for deepening one’s faith and sharing it with future generations. Marie Madeleine’s collections of holy gifts, greeting cards, rosaries, books, and toys reflect Guiberteau’s mission to help people nurture their spiritual lives, which she developed during a visit to Medjugorje in Bosnia-Herzegovina—a site of Catholic pilgrimage since the Virgin Mary began appearing to pilgrims there in 1981. More than an online store, Marie Madeleine reflects Guiberteau’s devotion to the sacred traditions of the Catholic Church, and to seeing everyday moments as opportunities for prayerfulness and grace. This Christmas, a visit to Marie Madeleine is an opportunity to re-connect with the reason for the season through meaningful giving, with gifts that inspire glad hearts to remain rooted in Christ.
Among Marie Madeleine’s best-loved items are a collection of Holy Image Umbrellas: illuminated umbrellas that serve a practical purpose while speaking to the soul. Step out in faith while staying dry beneath the protective mantle of Our Lady of Guadalupe, sheltered by the steadfast strength of St. Joseph, or shaded by the sacrificial love of Christ. Handsome and durable, a Holy Image Umbrella stands as an enduring symbol that faith provides a shelter to weather any storm.
Marie Madeleine’s Children’s Collection encourages faith to flourish in younger hearts. Faith-based toys—such as Educational Cards on a Ring, or a Mary Magnet Playset—are designed to teach Catholic values in fun and engaging ways, inviting little ones to find their way to Christ on their own terms. Each piece encourages a child to learn about his or her faith through play, prayer, and imagination, and helps parents plant seeds of devotion that can grow for a lifetime.
Marie Madeleine’s Rosary House Collection offers meaningful tools by which believers can deepen their prayer life while strengthening the relationship with Jesus. Pieces are designed to form part of the daily ritual, giving form to faith in tangible ways in daily life. Discover rosaries, chaplets, and prayer booklets that invite quiet reflection and spiritual renewal—ideal for those seeking to keep Christ at the center of every day.
“My mission is simple,” says founder Monika Guiberteau. “At Marie Madeleine, I want to help people reconnect with their faith and pass that gift on to their children.”
Shopping with Marie Madeleine provides an opportunity to give beyond the ordinary—choosing gifts that uplift the spirit and celebrate the beauty of the Catholic faith.
