Our Guest Speaker: MARY RIVIERE

     Mary Riviere, a Houma native, attended LSU where she studied marketing prior to pursing her law degree from Tulane University Law School. She went on to clerk for a federal judge in New Orleans before marrying her husband Robert Riviere and returning to the bayou region to settle in Thibodaux. She then began her career aside her family of lawyers practicing at the law firm of Waitz & Downer where she remains today. While balancing the demands of raising her two sons and her career, Mary also dedicated her time to pursing philanthropic efforts. She served for many years on the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux Bishop’s Advisory Council, in addition to working on the Civil Service Board of Thibodaux. She previously served on the board of the Crossroads Pregnancy Resource Center. Her current endeavors include serving as treasurer for Holy Trinity Academy’s Board of Trustees and as coordinator for the Two Hearts Adoration Chapel. Mary also takes an active role in the A.C.T.S. Missions, having served on four leadership teams, as well as holding the position of director last year.

Religious books will be available for purchase at the meal.
Since the day is designed to speak to the hearts of women, free of distractions, it is respectfully requested that young children not be in attendance.
