Honor Her Spirit, Cherish Her Memory
Mother’s Day is a time for celebration, but for many of us, it can also bring feelings of deep love and loss. For those experiencing their first Mother’s Day without a mother, grandmother, or maternal figure, the ache of their absence is felt more deeply than ever. These women not only gave us life but shaped the people we’ve become.
In this time of remembrance, we’re offering a meaningful way to honor your mother’s memory. Through a memorial plaque or paver engraved with her name at one of our Shrines, her spirit can remain alive forever. This tribute goes beyond just preserving her memory—it also continues her legacy of love, kindness, and compassion.
Your donation doesn’t just keep her memory alive; it also supports those in need, through the work of the Missionary Oblates. By making this gesture, you honor her life and the impact she had on you and the world.
Here are a few ways you can keep her spirit close:
