In the following decades, numerous Motherâs Day efforts sprang up.
One was in 1904, by the administrator of the University of Notre Dame, Frank Hering, After observing students sending penny postcards to their mothers, he proposed âsetting aside one day in the year as a nationwide memorial to the memories of mothers and motherhood,â writing:
âThroughout history the great men of the world have given their credit for their achievements to their mothers. The Holy Church recognizes this, as does Notre Dame.â
The person who successfully made Motherâs Day into a national event was Anna Jarvis, of Grafton, West Virginia, the granddaughter of a Baptist minister.
