For the mothers, and mothers to be, who wish to take part in the Mothers of Lu Prayer and devotion, the sign-up is found HERE or scroll down this page.

The mothers are invited to offer their communion for the intention of fostering vocations in their children and to gather in the church on the first Sunday of each month after the Mass they are attending to recite the prayer together.

The prayer that the Mothers of Lu pray is short, simple, and deep:
“O God, grant that one of my sons may become a priest! I myself want to live as a good Christian and want to guide my children always to do what is right, so that I may receive the grace, O God, to be allowed to give you a holy priest! Amen.”

They are also encouraged to attend Benediction on Thursdays as often as possible for the same intention.
