Mothers’ Day Blessings to All Parish Moms

Last May 14, Mother’s Day, Christ the King parish church presiders consistently gave recognition to all the mothers in the crowd by asking them near the end of the mass to go to the front for special blessings.

In his homilies during the May 13 Saturday anticipated 7:30 pm mass as well as the May 14 Sunday noon mass, Fr. Bong gave special tribute to mothers, tying up the story of Our Lady of Fatima and her admonition – ‘do not be afraid’ – to the three shepherd children, with the sacrifices made by mothers everywhere, including in his own case where his mother administered to her ten kids doing homework all at the same time.

During the blessing rites, Fr. Bong worked his way from left to right then back again to sprinkle holy water on the proud moms.
