May Crowning Mass on May 17th - BRING A FLOWER!
Tomorrow, grades K through 5, along with our parish, will honor Mary at the 8:30am mass. The 2nd graders will wear their 1st communion clothes and act as the honor guard, and the 5th grade will have a May Crowning court to help honor Mary with a crown of flowers to place on the head of the statue of Mary. All are welcome!
ALL students are invited to bring a flower from home to offer to the statue of Mary. The flower can be from your garden, purchased, or handmade. Anything will be more than special for this day we honor Mary. Be sure to come to school in dress uniforms as well!
