among Catholics.

There were some of the Catholic saints who were mothers. St. Elizabeth Ann Seton comes to mind, a mother with five children before she was widowed. She subsequently founded the Sisters of Charity, one of the Catholic teaching orders who taught me for awhile. Since I shy away from organized spiritual groups or Churches for the most part, I can't think of any others off hand.
