Canadian Martyrs Catholic Church – Church Bulletin
Ascension of the Lord – May 12, 2013
Happy Mother's Day
May God bless all the Mothers
That give of themselves
And tend to their household needs
Before the needs of yourself
For they are there with comfort
For each child's broken heart,
Bringing them to God in prayer,
With His love to impart.
By M.S. Lowndes
