| It was a speaker series on love she attended in her senior year of college that first piqued Mary Beth Bonacci's interest in the subject. At that time she realized that
a) single people are really looking for love, not just sex; b) respect for the meaning of human sexuality is part of what enables us to find and live real love; and c) someone needs to go out and tell the world. |

| And so she did. She started speaking locally -- her "good deed" as she graduated and began her ascent up the corporate ladder. But as the demand for her talks grew, her corporate career went by the wayside. Speaking and writing became a full-time career. That was in 1986.
Today, Mary Beth is an internationally known speaker. In 1992 she addressed 10,000 teenagers in Monterrey, Mexico. In 1993 she spoke to 75,000 people at World Youth Day in Denver, Colorado. In 1996 she conducted a national seminar for single adults in Uganda, Africa. She does frequent radio and TV work, and has even made several appearances on MTV. In 1999, she spoke to 22,000 people at the TWA Dome during the Pope's visit to St. Louis. Mary Beth has written two books, We're on a Mission from God and Real Love, and she writes a regular, syndicated column for various publications. She has developed numerous videos, including her brand-newest video series, also entitled Real Love. Her video Sex and Love: What's a Teenager to Do? was awarded the 1996 Crown Award for Best Youth Curriculum. Mary Beth holds a bachelor's degree in Organizational Communication from the University of San Francisco, and a master's degree in Theology of Marriage and Family from the John Paul II Institute at Lateran University. She was also awarded an honorary doctorate in Communications from the Franciscan University of Steubenville, and is listed in Outstanding Young Women of America for 1997. |
