Good afternoon RCS Families and Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful mothers in our community.

We are deeply grateful for everything you do each day—the meals you prepare, the love you give, the guidance you offer, and the constant care you provide. We thank you for the many sacrifices you make for your children, from attending school events and cheering from the sidelines, to the countless hours spent as a “taxi” driving to practices, lessons, and activities.

Motherhood is found in both the big and small moments: combing your daughter’s hair and placing a ribbon just right, helping choose that special dress, supporting your child’s interests, or buying a new suit for an important occasion. It is in the hugs, the reassurance, and the quiet reminders that they are loved. It is in the smiles—and sometimes tears—when looking back at photos from those early school days. These moments, both simple and profound, are what define being a mom.

In my own life, the women in my home were nothing short of remarkable. They could do it all—mend a torn pair of pants, heal a broken heart, prepare a meal, and even fix a broken bicycle chain.

After my mother passed away in 2007, my family and I were going through items in her closet when I found a small, bent piece of metal covered in fading glitter. At first glance, it seemed insignificant. But attached was a note in her handwriting: “Chick, Kindergarten Christmas 1961.” (“Chick” was my family nickname.) It was a simple Christmas decoration I had made as a child. My mother had hung it on the tree every year until it could no longer hold together, and even then, she kept it. To her, it was priceless—a reminder of love and memory.

While we can never fully repay our mothers for all they have given us, we can continue to love, honor, and respect them. You are the women who give life, nurture it, and help shape who we become through your example of kindness, strength, and unwavering love.

On behalf of all of us at Resurrection Catholic School, I wish you a very happy and blessed Mother’s Day. May God continue to bless you for all that you do—both seen and unseen.
