See what people are saying about me:
“Melanie Rigney is a one of a kind author, speaker, and presenter. The members of the Arlington Diocesan Council of Catholic Women have been so grateful for her wisdom, passion, and leadership while giving retreats and presentations for us. Melanie's attention to detail, her sense of humor, and her inspiring faith make her writing and speaking so very memorable and impactful. I know Melanie will do the same for you!”
— Megan Hamberger, Past President of the
Arlington Diocesan Council of Catholic Women
“Melanie’s presentations are always interesting, full of factoids and stories, all shared with humor and love. When she speaks about St. Hildegard of Bingen, for example, Mel talks about Hildegard’s particular traits that Mel finds particularly inspirational, encouraging, and relatable. It’s like having the saint in the room with us.”

“Unforgettable Women of the Gospels, 8 Unnamed Women in Scripture And Their Encounters with Jesus,” takes a deep dive into stories of 8 women from the Bible (ones you have heard many times) and puts some flesh on what was really happening in their lives and in the country when they had their personal encounter with Jesus. Then she helps us see how those same encounters can and do often happen to us here, and now. … Enjoy this little nougat .. and see where God has already rained His grace down on you.”
