May is St. Mary's month. We also take time to celebrate all mothers! Tell your mom you love her, and while you're at it pray for Mary to intercede on her behalf and to continue to reveal herself as a model for moms and for all of us!
Peace! Zach Rawson Director of Youth & Young Adult Ministry Pax Christi Catholic Church
