Wednesday,
May 7, all day, “The Mother’s Day Spirit Is Still With Us” Event. Here’s a new annual
celebration that we’re rolling out this year: Three days after Mother’s
Day, all those who showed appreciation for their moms on the previous
Sunday should make it clear that they haven’t dropped the idea the minute
her special day is over. On this follow-up day, adult children who live
far away will call their mother -- yes, twice in the same week! -- and
tell her they miss her. Children who live at home will clean up after
themselves. Yes, they should do that everyday, but how often does that
happen? And for those of you who gave Mom flowers, you should trim off the
drooping ones and change the water in the vase, so that Mom doesn’t have
to do the work. And don’t eat any more of her chocolate (you know who you
are)! This is the weekly fake event, but you can make it into a reality if
you want -- and your mother will be thrilled.
Wednesday May 14 at 7 PM, Anne E. Patrick will talk about her book, "Conscience and Calling: Ethical Reflections on Catholic Women's Vocations". Ms Patrick is a professor at Carleton College.
