Mother Mary, Queen of Peace,
pray for us and our families...
Celebrating Mary and Motherhood in May
Are you a mother, grandmother, godmother? How do you honor Mother Mary?
Mary, always leads us to Jesus and teaches us how to know and love him more and more as we journey home...
Motherhood is an arduous and rewarding vocation. Most times we learn "mothering" as we go about our daily journey. Children are God's gift. I remember every pregnancy lived with such joy and anticipation in my heart - sharing these moments with my beloved husband, Tony... I was (literally) full of life!

Share your "MOM Moments" with us. We'd like to celebrate YOU, too!

Mental Health Awareness Month
May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Since its inception in 1949, Mental Health Awareness Month has been a cornerstone of addressing the challenges faced by millions of Americans living with mental health conditions. Throughout the month, NAMI actively participates in this national movement, dedicated to eradicating stigma, extending support, fostering public education, and advocating for policies that prioritize the well-being of individuals and families affected by mental illness.
- 1 in 5 U.S. adults experience mental illness each year, and only half of them receive treatment.
- 1 in 20 U.S. adults experience a serious mental illness each year, and only two-thirds receive treatment.
- 1 in 6 U.S. youth experience a mental health condition each year, and only half of them receive treatment.
- 50% of all lifetime mental illness begins by age 14, and 75% by age 24.
- The average delay between onset of mental illness symptoms and treatment is 11 years.
Our mental health journey starts with a single moment. Take it! Join us this Mental Health Awareness Month and all year long as we work to make mental wellbeing — including recovery from substance use — a reality for everyone.
