Celebrating the Mothers Who Inspire Healing & Faith

This Mother’s Day, we honor the strength, resilience, and love of the mothers, grandmothers, and mother figures in our lives. Just as a mother’s love nurtures and heals, faith can lead us to deep emotional and spiritual restoration.

President's Note

Prayers of gratitude for all who have mothered us—those who nurture with gentle hands, kind words, and loving presence. We hold in prayer all who carry pain around mothering. May healing come, and my prayer for us all is may the peace God desires for us be accessible to us.

With joy and deep love, we offer our heartfelt appreciation to our GPC Founding Mother, Tilda Norberg, whose visi continues to guide us. That vision, shared and shaped alongside beloved GPC Ministers Clarejean Haury, Rhoda Glick, Sara Gould, Wanda Craner, and Betty Voigt, carries us forward with strength and grace.

As with all who have mothered us, we hold them tenderly in our hearts. Their wisdom continues to live and grow within us.

We share a special note: our dear Founding Mother is now at home receiving palliative care. Her work—so vital and spirit-led—has been lovingly passed on. Now she is in a sacred season of reflection, surrounded by the love she has so freely given.

She would be deeply touched to receive your messages and cards. Her mailing address is: 76 Clinton Ave. Staten Island, NY 10301 or you may message George at (347) 385-6643.

You're invited!

Why Attend Our Retreats?

“I have learned much about mental illness and healing. I am now aware that healing is not an event, but a process, a journey toward wholeness. And each day, we have the choice to open ourselves to Grace and to consent to God's work within us. ” – Pat M.

🙏 Daily Faith Practices for Inner Peace

Consider these simple faith-based practices to invite healing into your daily life:

Morning Prayer & Gratitude – Start your day by thanking God for the new day and other blessings that come to mind

Scripture for Healing – Reflect on these words:

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” – Psalm 147:3

Sacred Reflection Time – Spend 10 minutes in silence, meditating on the sacred love of God.

Journal how God has spoken to you in the silence. What did you notice in your body? What thoughts kept running through your mind?
