Your Children Love You

Catholic Single Mothers by Momentum

Episode notes

In this episode, we sit down with Fr. Garrick, pastor of St. Willibrord’s Parish in Verdun, Montreal. Originally from Vancouver, he has served in several communities across Quebec and has accompanied Momentum mothers at multiple retreats.

Fr. Garrick shares his story as the son of a single mother, speaking with honesty and gratitude about the challenges and graces and how it shaped his heart as a priest. He offers a powerful reminder of how deeply children love their mothers and how much strength they draw from their faith, perseverance, and presence.

He also reflects on the Gospel of the Woman Caught in Adultery from John 8, highlighting Jesus’ mercy, His refusal to condemn, and His desire to restore dignity and hope.

Thank you, Fr. Garrick, for your witness, your pastoral heart, and your openness in sharing your story.
