Mother-Daugther Retreat

Sunday, January 29, 2012

The purpose of the Mother/Daughter Program is to provide an atmosphere of love and learning to discuss the important topic of growing up. This afternoon session is provided for Mothers and their daughters to help them to establish a foundation for continued communication between each other. The program is presented by the Diocese of Brownsville Family Life Office and emphasizes respect, understanding, and appreciation for God’s gifts.

The Mother/Daughter Program explores God’s special gift of human fertility and the beauty and wonder of God’s plan for growing up and becoming a woman. Some of the topics presented during this session discuss the changes in a girl’s body as it prepares for motherhood; the onset of ovulation and subsequent menstrual periods; the functions of the female reproductive system; the sacredness of human life; the virtue of chastity; reverence for our sexuality, and a confidential question and answer segment.
