All mothers who wish to be true to their high calling need only look to the woman who became the greatest mother of all.  Mary, the mother of   Jesus, our Blessed Mother, is the true model of motherhood.

“It can thus be said that women, by  looking to Mary, find in her the secret of living their femininity with dignity and of achieving their own true advancement.  In the light of Mary, the Church sees in the face of women the reflection of a  beauty which mirrors the loftiest sentiments of which the human heart is capable: the self-offering totality of love; the strength that is capable of bearing the greatest sorrows; limitless fidelity and tireless devotion to work; the ability to combine penetrating intuition with words of support and encouragement”  (St. John Paul II, Redemptoris Mater).


 

 

Trilingual Rosary in Church

 

On Sunday, May 19th please join your parish family for the praying of a Trilingual Rosary in the Church at 3:00 PM. This time of prayer is in response to Our Lady of Fatima’s petition 100 years ago to pray the Holy Rosary for peace in the world. It also has been the desire of many people in our parish to pray the Holy Rosary together as a parish family.
