Mother’s Day!
Mother’s Day cards are available. Remember your mother, living or deceased, on Mother’s Day, May 12, with special Mass Intention cards that are available at all Church entrances. All Masses will be offered for mothers on Mother’s Day.
As we honor our mothers this day, let us not forget our heavenly mother who loves us and intercedes for us.
Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that
anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine
intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee,
O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand,
sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions,
but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.
Sts. Nereus and Achilleus, pray for us!

and servers to show a sense of community and festivity. Let us see a Sea of
Red! A thousand celebrating in red will be a real sign of Church for all of us.
