π Motherβs Day Mass π Today, St Nicholas of Myra students gathered in the St Nicholas of Myra Church to celebrate and give thanks for all the mothers, grandmothers, nannas, nanas, grans, grandmas, omaβs, yiayias and the special women in our lives. During the Mass, Father Joe reminded students that God gifted us our mothers from the very moment of our birth, blessing us with people who nurture, guide and love us unconditionally. Students also reflected on Mary, the Mother of God, and the beautiful example she gives us through her faith, kindness, courage and love. Just as Mary cared for Jesus, we give thanks for the many women in our lives who care for and support us each day. We thank all of the wonderful women in our school community and wish them a very happy Motherβs Day.
