Celebrating Mary During the Month of May
There are many different images of Mary in our Church, many of which celebrate the cultural and ethnic customs of the people. This Sunday at the 11:00 am Mass we will have a family assist in the crowning of Mary. In addition, you are invited to bring your own image to share with our community and place it on the table set up in the northwest corner of the church (near the Reconciliation Chapel). And if possible, you are encouraged to provide a short description of your image and why it is special to you.
