Let’s Have a Virtual May Crowning!

Written by Deanne Slaughter
     With Mother’s Day just around the corner, we remember that the month of May is dedicated to honoring our universal mother, the Virgin Mary. Since we can’t have our traditional May Crowning ceremony at Mass next Wednesday, let’s have one virtually!

​How:
1) Put a crown on a statue or picture of Mary or color a May Crowning picture and display it in your house the month of May. Two possible coloring sheets are provided below.
2) Take a picture of your finished creation for our virtual crowning.

When: Wednesday, May 6 post a picture of how you crowned Mary to the school’s hall time video on Facebook. www.facebook.com/JPIIHRCS/ 
Non-Facebookers can email pictures to faithform@holyrosaryschoolif.org if you would like them included in the post.

​Why: May Crowning is an ancient tradition in which a crown or wreath of flowers is placed on the head of a Marian statue to honor her as our Queen Mother. More on this next week!
