Ascension Thursday

This Thursday we celebrate the Feast of the Ascension of the Lord, commemorating that day when Jesus was taken up to heaven, to the glory of his Father – 40 days after he rose from the dead and 10 days before the Feast of the Pentecost.  What is so significant or important about this feast?

Mother’s Day

Sunday, May 12th, we celebrate Mother’s Day and we honor our moms for all they do for us and for the sacrifices they make for us.  They do many ordinary things and do them extraordinarily well.  Primarily through their teaching and their example, they assist in an important way in passing down our precious faith to our children.

When we think of mothers, we only have to think of Mary, the mother of Jesus.  May is the month of Mary, and this month we honor her in a special way. (Read more…)
