We all know mums are pretty special humans every day of the year, but their contributions and dedication were put in the spotlight at a special pre-Mother’s Day liturgy in Weipa earlier this month.
St Joseph’s Parish School rolled out the red carpet for local mothers when a big crowd converged on the school on 9 May for the event, which included a sumptuous morning tea to say thank you for everything Weipa mums did for students, their families and the greater community.
A spokesperson said the liturgy provided the St Joseph’s community the opportunity to reflect on mothers, who they were, and what they represented.
“We took a moment to appreciate all the loving mothers and mother figures who work tirelessly to ensure the wellbeing of their children,” the spokesperson said.
“For those that are still with us, and those that come before us, their unconditional love and support have made our world a better place.”
The liturgy included a PowerPoint presentation of photos of mothers and their children, with a variety of games played at the morning tea.
