Katherine Morna ("Kate") Towne is a wife, mom, writer, and lay Dominican. When her family can spare her, she writes on motherhood (especially the bringing up of boys), faith, and topics of local interest. Her work has appeared in Mothering, Canticle, The Dominican Torch, and the Saratoga TODAY family of publications. One of Kate's favorite topics is names. She's always loved names of all kinds, but has a particular love for the names arising from her Catholic faith, most especially those that honor the Blessed Mother. You can find her writing about names at CatholicMom.com, Nameberry.com, and in The Catholic Hipster Handbook (Ave Maria Press, 2017), as well as her blog Sancta Nomina: Thoughts on Catholic baby naming (SanctaNomina.net). Kate lives in the Northeast with her husband and their six sons. See less
