For the May Junior Saints, some students at Catholic schools and parishes in the Archdiocese of Washington drew pictures of their mothers and wrote what they love about them. Here are a few of those drawings:
“I love my mother because my mother loves me. She takes care of me and helps me through tough and stressful events in my life. When I was little, she helped me with my homework, and now she's helping me as I finish 8th grade. She has been my biggest supporter for my entire life, and I cannot thank her enough for that. Thank you, mom.” - Maricka Sembria, eighth grade St. Mary's School of Piscataway, Clinton, Maryland

I love my mom with all my heart because she is someone who I can talk to and someone who could make me happy.” - Megan Montero, seventh grade, St. Columba School, Oxon Hill“I love my mom because she's always taken care of me and been there for me.
