Mother's Day

Together as a Community we gathered together today to celebrate Mothers, Grandmothers and Mother figures in our lives.

We began our Mass bringing forward symbols to tell the story of our Mums:

The cook book is a symbol of the master chef mum, who always makes sure we go to bed with a full tummy!
The first aid kit reminds us of the Dr. Mum who is always there when we scrape our knee or bump our heads.
The car keys represent the Taxi Driver mum who takes us here, there and everywhere!
The ipad symbolises Google Mum who knows the answer to everything, helps us with our homework and even finds time to do their own work.
The pom poms represent the Cheer Leader Mum who supports us in everything we do reminding us to do our very best.
The picture of Mary symbolises Jesus’ Mum . Like Mary our mums share their unconditional love.
The bouquet of flowers is to say thank you for all you do.
We love you mum

Blessing for all mothers

God our father, we ask you to bless all the mothers present today, together with all women who have a mothering role. Give them your love that they may love those entrusted to them with the love that only mothers can give.

Give them your strength that they may never weary of the demanding life they lead. Give them your warmth that they may radiate to their children the human and divine qualities of compassion, justice, dignity, patience and kindness.

Above all give them your joy and peace that they may always know the special place they have in your heart, that you love them as you gave your love to Mary, the mother of Jesus your Son.

May these special women who give so much to others, so unselfishly and generously, know that you are with them always. And may Almighty God bless you in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

After Mass the School went back for morning tea and the community stayed in the Nartex for morning tea.

The Staff and Students of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Wentworthville would like to wish all mothers, grandmothers and mother figures in our lives a very Happy Mother's Day. We really appriciate all you do for us.
