HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY

PRAYER FOR MOTHERS

Loving God,

We pray for our mothers and those who are like mothers to us – our grandmothers, our aunties, our sisters, our teachers and our friends.

May we always remember how intelligent, capable, responsible and hard-working they are and thank them for the love, care and protection they show for us.

O God, shower our mothers with abundant blessings. 

We ask this prayer in Jesus’ name.

Amen.

Month of May - Dedication to Mary 

The month of May is the "month which the piety of the faithful has especially dedicated to Our Blessed Lady," and it is the occasion for a "moving tribute of faith and love which Catholics in every part of the world pay to the Queen of Heaven. During this month Christians we are called to offer up to Mary from our hearts our prayers and dedications. Students will be learning about the rosary and engaging in prayer experiences every Friday throughout May.

Feast of the Ascension of the Lord - 12th May 

The Feast of the Ascension is the fortieth day after Easter Sunday, which commemorates the Ascension of Christ into heaven, according to Mark 16:19, Luke 24:51, and Acts 1:2. The terms used in the West, ascensio and, occasionally, ascensa, signify that Christ was raised up by His own powers. Tradition designates Mount Olivet near Bethany as the place where Christ left the earth. It is one of the Ecumenical feasts ranking with the feasts of the Passion, of Easter and of Pentecost among the most solemn in the calendar.
