Dear
Parents/Guardians,
We are now well into the spring
season. The long winter is over and the
days are growing warmer. Birds have
returned from the south and there is a
sense of awakening all around us. We
have entered into May. May, the month
we celebrate all mothers.
It is a time of special prayer and
devotion to the Blessed Virgin, the
Mother of Jesus. In Mary, we are
provided with a model of grace,
modesty and devotion to God. She is
an example of the complete acceptance
of God’s will. May provides us with
an opportunity to reflect on the
importance of Mary in the life of the
Church and in how we are called to
give God a response of faithfulness and
stewardship in our own daily lives. In
the hustle and bustle of our busy lives,
we take time this month to say the
rosary, to pray some of the beautiful
Marian prayers, to ask Mary to
intercede on our behalf and to spend a
little time in her company.
