Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is a wonderful opportunity to highlight the beautiful vocation of motherhood and the gift of life. It reminds people to cherish the gift of life that they receive from their mothers and also to pray for all women whom God has entrusted life. As Holy Family prays in thanksgiving for the gift of all mothers, it also specifically remembers mothers who are experiencing difficult pregnancies and pray they may find support and encouragement in choosing life for their children.
