Holding Pain with Hope: Mary's Seven Sorrows in our Spiritual and Physical Motherhood
Every woman is called to motherhood — spiritual or physical — and with that calling comes deep love… and often quiet, hidden suffering. Through the Seven Sorrows of Mary, we will gather to reflect on how Our Blessed Mother walks with us through grief, worry, sacrifice, and surrender, teaching us how to hold our pain with hope and trust in God.
Join us for a beautiful morning of Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, Confession, brunch, and a powerful witness talk by Jill Cabes, as we come together in prayer and sisterhood.
Friday, March 13
8:30 AM – 12:45 PM
Mary, Queen of Peace Church, Mandeville
$25 per woman (Brunch provided by The Reminding Coffee & Creative House)
All women are welcome — mothers, grandmothers, spiritual mothers, those longing for motherhood, and those carrying silent struggles. Mary meets us all.
