As the world continues to face the ongoing effects of the global pandemic of the coronavirus, Archbishop José H. Gomez of Los Angeles and president of the USCCB has announced that the U.S. bishops will join the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops on May 1 in renewing the consecrations of the two nations to the care of our Blessed Mother.

In honor of Mother's Day on May 10, Today's Catholic will feature a section that shares one of your memories of how your mother practiced her Catholic faith or made faith meaningful to you. If you'd like to share a memory, send an email (200 words or less) and attach a high-quality photo no later than April 27.
