On Friday, we joyfully celebrated Mother’s Day with a beautiful liturgy, followed by a picnic shared among mothers and their children. It was a special time of prayer, fellowship, and gratitude for the gift of motherhood. As mothers, we are inspired by the example of The Virgin Mary — a model of faith, love, humility, and unwavering devotion. Through her gentle strength and trust in God, Mary reminds us of the sacred vocation of motherhood and the powerful role mothers play in nurturing their families with compassion and grace. We hope all mothers had a wonderful and blessed Mother’s Day yesterday, surrounded by love, joy, and appreciation for all that they do each day.

Today in our Little Disciples lunchtime group, we spoke about how God is always with us and takes away our worries when we place our trust in Him. Students made paper boats, wrote their worries on them, and placed them into the water to sail away as a reminder that we can give all our fears and worries to God. ⛵ “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” – 1 Peter 5:7
