Frank Hering was a former football coach at the University of Notre Dame and a member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, a fraternal group focused on the arts. In 1904, he suggested to the Eagles that they observe one day of the year, preferably a Sunday, where they would honour the memory of mothers and motherhood in general. To this day the Eagles consider Hering and the organization to be the founders of Mother’s Day as we know it to be today.
