Queen of Apostles School
Term 4 Week 6 - Thursday 16 November, 2023
Heavenly Father,
We thank you for the gift of motherhood and the love that mothers give to their children.
We pray for all mothers, that you would guide them with wisdom and strength in their daily lives.
May they find joy in their role as mothers and be blessed with health, peace, and happiness.
We especially remember mothers-to-be, may they welcome their children with loving anticipation.
We also remember those mothers who are no longer with us, and we pray for them to find eternal rest.
Grant this, through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

The P&F are also running a Mother’s Day gift stall tomorrow. Students will be able to choose from a great selection of gifts ranging from $1 to $6. Each of the classes will take turns to buy their gifts with any leftovers being sold at lunchtime. Dads make sure you’ve got some coins/cash handy so your children can get mum a wonderful surprise for their special day.
