May Crowning

It’s here, May the Month of Mary!
For centuries, the Catholic Church has set aside the entire month of May to honor Mary, the Mother of God. It is a long-standing tradition here at Visitation Academy to crown a statue of Mary during May – a custom known as the May Crowning. It’s a reminder for us to strive to imitate our Blessed Mother’s virtue in our own lives.

The 2nd and 3rd grade processed in and presented our Blessed Mother with a bouquet of flowers. The statue was crowned as each grade lead a decade of the Rosary. We closed our May Crowning with Deacon Negrin leading us in a Litany to our Blessed Mother. Let us continue to pray for our Blessed Mother’s intercession for our school, our country and our world.

For May, give Mary a special spot in your home and recite the Rosary with your family or even a decade a night.
Mary, Mother of Jesus, pray for us!
