Honoring Women Aug. 14

Women will be honored Aug. 14 at 5:45 pm Mass in Sacred Heart Church in Roseville, MI.

They should be.

In church and society women do so much. 

At home, for example, women are mothers who are closest to their children.

My own mother cared for seven of us, including two sets of twins.

That'a a load, in addition to a lot of work.  It's a full-time job, in fact. Homemakers are like that.

Woman are the backbone of the Catholic Church.  Without all the good they do and show, who knows where we'd be.

More mothers, additional woman in higher positions of power would enhance the Church, and, perhaps even see greater protection of children from predators.  After all, women will defend their children no end.  Even the animal world depicts females making the males stay outside the feeding circle until the mother and children are fed first.

Honoring women.

We do it everyday, don't with?

With respect, appreciation, and more, we show honor them.

One day, Aug. 14th, lifts them up in pride and praise.

A reception will follow the Mass that honors all woman in the lower level of the church at 18430 Utica Road at Gratiot.

All are welcome.

Join clergy like Revs. Lawrence Jackson and Richard Welsh who are planning this event, among others, along Barbara Robinson, minister of music at St. Michael Church in Sterling Heights, MI.,  and General Motors Chorus sunger, Bob Gillenkirk, singing the classic hymn, "Ave Maria."

Welcome women with me at the doors of the historic ediface.

Honor.
