Mary

Mother’s Day Blessing
Loving God, as a mother gives life and nourishment to her children, so you watch over your Church. Bless these women, that they may be strengthened as Christian mothers. Let the example of their faith and love shine forth. Grant that we, their sons and daughters, may honor them always with a spirit of profound respect.  Grant this through Christ our Lord.  Amen   Isaiah 66:13: "As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you."   
Wishing you a Happy and Blessed Mother’s Day,  
Fr. Joe, priest’s and staff.
