Last night I was reading about the Matralia (June 11th). There isn't a fixed interpretation about who the matrons blessed in the temple of Mater Matuta - we know that they prayed for the children of their other siblings, but latin texts aren't precise in saying if it was their sisters' or brothers' children. I think it drastically changes how we interpret the festival and the relationship between family members.
If we accept that it was about their brother's children, it means that matrons honored their gens since the second name was passed on by the fathers and their brothers. A matron could not bless her children because they weren't hers, but were part of her husband's family, and the only way to honor family ties was through their brothers. Considering that this festival was celebrated two days after the Vestalia, we can say that in these two weeks of celebrations for Vesta the focus was on the paternal hearth, the original place from which every citizen came. Vestals and matrons blessed their gens through nices and nephews since the formers could not have children of their own, and the latters could not pass on their family names.
But if we accept the most common interpretation that matrons prayed for their sisters' children (and the link between Mater Matuta and Ino, sister of Semele) we see the dynamics between women of the same family. My latin prof once said that the latin word for "maternal aunt", matertera, means "the other mother" since she was literally a second mother for the child: she looked after them, took part in their education, and in general, was a more familiar presence for the child than the paternal aunt because "if you were born in ancient Rome, other than your mother, your aunt was the only good thing in the world". A maternal aunt was a second mother because both the mother and her sisters gave birth to the child - one, in reality, the other on a spiritual level. Celebrating this festival during the Vestalia means recognizing the role of the hearth as the shared womb of the family, the place from which everyone is born (childbirth happened in the domus), and so Vesta - as a virgin mother goddess/celestial fire of the Gods - becomes the real ancestor of every citizen linked not by name, but by fire. It was a group of priestesses that took care of Her temple and the well-being of the holy fire that guarded the City, and it was a group of matrons that took care of the citizens born of other women. It was a shared effort to protect the Other, what was of public use, what was truly vital for the community.

Roman Calendar - June 11: Matralia festival and goddess Fortuna
Matralia was a festival that was celebrated in honor of an old Latin goddess Mater Matuta. She had an archaic temple at Forum Boarium and hence the festival was held there. Only married women were allowed to participate and during the celebrations they offered gifts to goddess and prayed for welfare of their sister’s children. A bit odd - imo- and there was also another rather peculiar ritual during this festival. A slave woman was namely brought into the temple after which she was slapped in the face and then driven away from the area. Makes one wonder why, but more info can be found here: http://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/secondary/SMIGRA*/Matralia.html
Goddess Fortuna was also celebrated on this day, Her temple stood next to the temple of Mater Matuta and it too was dedicated on June 11 (7th / 6th century BCE), Roman women devoted their wedding gowns to Fortuna in this temple.
As one can see from pic 1 there isn’t much left of these temples. Archaeologically speaking Sant’Omobono Area is an important site though since these are the oldest known temple remains in Rome.

Enthroned Woman with Swaddled Babies; Curti near Capua (Italy), 3rd - 2nd century BC. Altes Museum. I don't know if this is Roman or Etruscan.
"Mater Matuta was an indigenous Latin Goddess, whom the Romans eventually made equivalent to the dawn Goddess Aurora, and the Greek Goddess Eos. Her cult is attested several places in Latium; her most famous temple was located at Satricum. In Rome she had a temple on the north side of the Forum Boarium, allegedly built by Servius Tullius, destroyed in 506 B.C., and rebuilt by Marcus Furius Camillus in 396 B.C., and she was also associated with the sea harbors and ports, where there were other temples to her. Another remarkable place of worship was located in Campania, outside modern Capua. Dozens of votive statues representing matres matutae were found in the so-called "fondo Patturelli" (a private estate) during excavations in the 19th century. An extensive collection of these votives is housed in the Museo Campano in Capua.
At Rome her festival was the Matralia, celebrated on June 11 at her temple in the Forum Boarium. The festival was only for single women or women in their first marriage, who offered prayers for their nephews and nieces, and then drove a slave out of the temple." -taken from Wikipedia

God/desses and Festivals G-P
Genii: Guardian spirits (singular: genius). Juno were the equivalent for women. Much like the lares, the genii are abstract divine beings that reside in everything-- each family has one, and each object too has one. The juno had various titles depending on the marital status of a woman: Iuno Iugalis for marriage, Iuno Matronalis for married women, Iuno Pronuba for brides, and Iuno Virginalis for virgins or single women.
Hercules: a deity-hero who inspired strength and ruled over childbirth and infants. Amulets were made representing his club which particularly caught on in Germany and Scandinavia. Brides in rome would wear a belt tied with a square or reef knot, known as a Hercules knot, likely to protect their virginity, as it was difficult to untie.
Honos: a later god of chivalry, military justice, and honor; sometimes identified with Virtus.
Inuus: god of sexual intercourse and possibly of livestock, by extension fertility; maybe a facet of the god Faunus.
Invidia: goddess of envy and inevitable retribution. She has the Evil Eye and was often associated with witches and magic, especially Circe.
Ianus: god of gates and doors, and by extension, beginnings, endings, transitions, and duality. He was often depicted with two faces facing in either direction, generally with one face bearded and the other clean-shaven. He is ceremonially invoked before any other god, as he ‘opens the door’ into Heaven. He must, for this reason, also receive an offering. New Year’s Day is sacred to him, and omens observed were said to affect the rest of the year. Cakes made of salt and spelt were burned on altars to Ianus, and people made gifts of figs and honey to one another so they would start the year out on good terms. The beginning of each month is also sacred to him, and a sacrifice was offered accordingly.
Iuno: queen of the gods and wife of Iuppiter. Her symbol is the peacock and her festival as divine mother was celebrated as the Matronalia, on 1 March. Sacrifices were made in her honor, and women received gifts from their husbands and daughters and prayers were made on their behalf. Women attending Matronalia rituals were not allowed to have their hair up or wear a belt or any other knots in their clothing. A meal was also prepared for the household salves, who did not have to work. She also rules over the first day of the Lupercalia, and was celebrated on the Nonae Caprotinae (7 July, where women of all castes would picnic and play games under wild fig trees). Her main functions as a goddess were to enforce sovereignty, rule over fertility, and protecting troops in war. As mother of the gods and Queen of Heaven, she also ruled over marriage and faithfulness, and protected women, especially wives and mothers (making her month, June, the best in which to marry).
Iuppiter: king of the gods and god of the skies and thunder. His symbols are the thunderbolt and eagle, and his sacred tree is the oak. He is the husband and brother of Iuno. The ides of each month were sacred to him, as well as the nundinae, in which rural people were allowed to sell their wares at the markets. He had the most festivals of any god or goddess, including the Visalia (19 August), the Meditrinalia (11 October), the Poplifugia (5 July), and both of the epulum Iovis (13 September and 13 November). He is a god of weather, the sky, the keeping of oaths, and trust and justice, especially as they relate to government function.
Iustitia: goddess of justice, law, and divine order. She is often pictures with a set of scales in her left hand, weighing the strengths and weaknesses of a legal case.
Iuturna: goddess of fountains and springs and mother of Fontus.
Iuventas: goddess of youth who watches over those coming of age. An offering was made to her by a boy who was first allowed to wear a man’s toga.
The Lares: guardian deities who observe, influence, and protect all within their sphere of function-- mainly the household. Most homes had an alter to the lares which watched over the family within, and offerings were given them regularly. Lares also ruled over fields, roads, ships, and the Roman state as a whole. The bulla of a boy becoming a man was given to the Lares on their shrine, as were the hairs of his first, ceremonially-shaven, beard.
Laverna: goddess of thieves, cheats, liars, and darkness; an infernal goddess. Libations were made to her with the left hand.
Latona: goddess of light and mother of Apollo and Diana.
Lemures or Larvae: the vengeful ghosts of those who were not given a proper burial or funeral rites. A feast called the Lemuria was held on 9, 11, and 13 May to exorcise these spirits by walking barefoot and throwing black beans over the shoulder at midnight, saying ‘haec ego mitto; his redimo meque meosque fabis’ (this I send; with these beans I redeem myself and my family) nine times, then banging bronze pots together, saying ‘Manes, exi paterni!’ (Spirits, leave the home of my fathers!).
Levana: goddess who oversaw the lifting of a newborn child up by the midwife following the cutting of the umbilical cord; protector of newborns.
Liber: god of wine, fertility, and freedom, associated with Bacchus. He especially ruled over fertility in nature and agriculture, as was celebrated alongside his consort, Libera, at the Liberalia festival (17 March), a rustic traditional ceremony at which Liber’s priestesses wore wreaths of ivy and made libia (cakes) of oil and honey for sacrifice. A large phallus was carried through the countryside to bring fertility and protect from evil.
Libera: the female equivalent of Liber; goddess of female fertility.
Liberalitas: god of generosity and free giving.
Libertas: goddess of freedom and the Roman commonwealth, whose symbols were the pilus and the festuca (associated with the manumission of slaves).
Libitina: goddess of burial and funerals whose priests were grave-diggers.
Lima: goddess of the threshold.
Lua: consort of Saturn to whom soldiers sacrificed captured weapons.
Lucina: goddess of childbirth, often associated with Iuno.
Luna: goddess of the Moon and female complement of Sol. May also be an aspect of the triple goddess alongside Hecate and Proserpina. She is often depicted driving a two-yoke chariot, or biga.
Lupercus: rather obscure god of shepherds and wolves who was celebrated at the Lupercalia on 15 February.
Lympha: agricultural goddess of fresh water. Also a divine source of inspiration or epiphany. Her cult-- and cults of nymphs in general-- were related to worship of Bacchus.
Mana Genita: a rather obscure goddess who appears to have ruled over infant mortality: i.e., knowing if a child would be born living or dead. Dogs were sacrificed to her.
Mania: goddess of the dead, who ruled the underworld. Sometimes called the mother of ghosts or mother of the Lares.
Mars: god of war and masculinity, father of Romulus and Remus and therefore of the Roman people. He is also rather more loosely connected to agriculture and the wilderness as defender and protector of Roman interests. The wolf, bear, peony, and woodpecker were sacred to him. The beak of a woodpecker (likely the European Green Woodpecker) was carried as an amulet, believed to contain Mars’ power to protect from harm. He was often depicted in the nude with only some armor and a weapon, a symbol of his bravery and lack of fear. The spear, often wrapped in laurel, is his symbol. Horse races, the Equirria, were held in his honor on 14 March and 27 February, and were said to have been started by Romulus. His priests were the Salii, twelve youths who dressed in warriors’ clothing and guarded Mars’ sacred shields. Mars was also celebrated on 17 March, his Agonium Martiale, 23 March, the Tubilustrium (a feast to cleanse the trumpets used in sacrifices and make the army fit for war), 15 October, the sacrifice of the Equus October (October Horse), and 19 October, at the Armilustrum (a ritual purification of weapons).
Mater Matuta: Often associated with the goddess Aurora. She ruled over the dawn, newborn children, the sea, and the harbour. She was celebrated at the Matralia on 11 June, at which single women prayed for their families and then drove a slave out of the temple.
Mellona: goddess of honey and beekeeping.
Mena: goddess of the menstrual flow.
Mercurius: guide of souls to the underworld and god of financial gain, commerce, eloquence, divination, travelers, luck, thieves, and trickery. His symbol is the caduceus, and his sacred animals are the cockerel, the ram, and the tortoise. He brings dreams.
Minerva: goddess of wisdom, weaving, strategy, and the arts. Her sacred animal is the owl. She also had authority over doctors and medicine. Her festival, the Quinquatria, was celebrated 19-23 March and poetry contests and plays were held. Women consulted fortune-tellers throughout the festival. Offerings were also given on her behalf on 13 June.
Moneta: goddess of memory; mother of the Muses.
Mors: god of death.
Murcia: a mysterious goddess about whom not much is known, though she has been associated with both myrtle trees and with laziness.
Mutunus Tutunus: a marriage deity, about whom not much is known. His symbol is a winged phallus. Christian writers later claimed that Roman brides would use a dildo of sorts sacred to this god shortly before their marriage to prepare them for sex.
Nenia Dea: goddess of funerals, and especially the funerary song.
Necessitas: goddess of destiny and inevitability.
Neptunus: brother of Iuppiter and Pluto; god of the sea and of horses. He was celebrated at the Neptunalia, 23 July, when shelters were built out of tree branches to host picnics and games.
Nerio: goddess of valor and war; consort of Mars.
Ops: goddess of abundance, fertility, and the earth; consort of Saturnus. Mother of Iuppiter.
Orbona: a goddess who was invoked by barren parents who prayed for a child.
Orcus: god of the underworld who punished those who broke oaths.
Pales: god of shepherds and livestock. Celebrated in the Parilia on 21 April, which was also marked as the anniversary of the founding of Rome. The festival included a ritual jumping through a bonfire of straw, olive branches, laurel, and sulfur; grain and milk offerings; and purification of livestock pens and quarters.
Parcae: the Fates; Nona who spins the thread of life, Decima who measures it, and Morta who cuts it, choosing the manner of a person’s death.
Patalena: guardian of flowers.
Pax: goddess of peace, often depicted holding a scepter, cornucopia, and olive branches. Her festival fell on 3 January.
Di Penates: domestic gods of the storeroom, to whom an offering was burned at every family meal.
Picumnus: god of growth, fertility, matrimony, and young children.
Pietas: goddess of duty, devotion, loyalty (especially to one’s parents) and religious orthodoxy. Her symbol was the stork.
Pilumnus: nature god who looked after growing children. New parents would make up an extra bed after the birth of a child to invite Pilumnus into their home to watch over the child.
Pluto: god of wealth and king of the Underworld. Husband of Proserpina; often associated with Dis Pater. Saying his name was generally avoided lest he take one’s soul.
Poena: goddess of punishment and divine retribution.
Pomona: goddess of fruit, gardens, and orchards. Her symbol is the pruning knife and her festival was held on 13 August.
Portunus: god of keys, doors, ports, and livestock. His festival was 17 August, the Portunalia, on which keys were thrown into a ceremonial fire to invite good luck.
Priapus: god of agricultural fertility, fruit, and penises. He was always depicted with a large, prominent erection. He was also a protective god, whose large penis was rather a threat to those who would dare trespass or steal on a property he protected, as depicted in the Priapeia.
Proserpina: goddess of spring, grain, and the underworld. Daughter of Ceres. Her return to the Underworld to be with her husband, Pluto, marks the turning of the seasons to winter, and when she ascends to the surface to be with her mother, spring and summer return.
Providentia: goddess of readiness, memory, and understanding.
Pudicitia: goddess of modesty and virginity.
