“A society without mothers

would be a dehumanized society,

for mothers are always, even in the worst moments,

witnesses of tenderness, dedication and moral strength….

Dearest mothers, thank you, thank you for what you are in your family

and for what you give to the Church and the world.”

Pope Francis

A HUGE thank-you to our outstanding P&F and to all the wonderful parents who volunteered at the Mother’s Day Stall and at the Mother’s Day Breakfast this week.

Many thanks also to everyone who donated some beautiful Mother’s Day gifts and the wonderful prizes for the Mother’s Day raffle. Thanks so much also to everyone who organised the Mother’s Day Raffle and to everyone who picked up and dropped off food for the delicious breakfast yesterday!

May God continue to bless you and your families abundantly.
