May Crowning

On May 8, our parish and Catholic academy gathered for the May Crowning Mass, a cherished tradition honoring the Blessed Mother. During the ceremony, eighth-graders took part in crowning Mary while preparing spiritually for graduation. In addition, second graders and the student choir enriched the celebration with song. As Father Passenant reminded us, “Crowning with flowers is an ancient practice of reverence. Today, we crown our Mother as Queen of Heaven and Earth.” Thank you to OLQM Catholic Academy and Denise De Maria for the photos.
