Celebrating Mother's Day
Whether you are isolating together or unfortunately apart, there are plenty of fun ways you can show Mum that you are thinking of her this weekend. Catholic Weekly have created a list of 20 unique activities to bring your whole family together safely this year.

Here are SOME of the ideas.
- Digitise the Family Recipes
- Make a Customised Playlist
- Host a family Tea Party
- Plant a garden
- Have a relaxing family movie night
- Go on a long walk.
- Let mum sleep in or take a midday nap.
- Provide a family cleaning service
- Use a meal delivery service
- Provide mum with some coupons for chores you might be able to do for her.
- Hand mum a handwritten letter thanking her for all she does.
- Make her breakfast in bed.
- Grateful Jar
- Create a family Restaurant at home.
- Make a family video
- Give mum a massage followed by a cup of tea.
Coping with Being Digitally Remote
3-Minute Retreats invite you to take a short prayer break right at your computer. Spend some quiet time reflecting on a Scripture passage.
Knowing that not everyone prays at the same pace, you have control over the pace of the retreat. After each screen, a Continue button will appear. Click it when you are ready to move on. If you are new to online prayer, the basic timing of the screens will guide you through the experience.
This week I am providing the links to two of the 3-minute Retreats. Spoil yourself!

Mass Services
Whilst we are still unable to physically attend mass, I would like to remind everyone that the Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn will continue to broadcast mass each day so that we can listen in and participate in the celebration.
