The May Crowning of the Blessed Virgin Mary, as Queen of Heaven and Earth, on Sunday, May 14, 2023, after 11:30 am Mass. Our First Holy Communion children lead the procession. Crowning is a traditional Roman Catholic ritual held during the month of May. It is a solemn procession; at the close of the procession, a statue of the Blessed Virgin is crowned with a garland or crown of flowers honoring Mary as “the Queen of May.”
