The month of May is devoted to Our Lady, the Blessed Virgin Mary. This Sunday, May 6th after the 10:30 Mass, there will be a Marian procession. At the end of the procession, the May crowning will take place in the church where a month-long shrine will be in place for private devotions and prayers. A member of the First Communion Class of 2012 will crown Mary. We encourage all parishioners to make use of the shrine. Vases will be available for fresh flowers to be given in Mary's honor.
The Legion of Mary is a lay Catholic organization whose members serve the Church on a voluntary basis in nearly every country of the world. It was founded in Dublin, Ireland by layman Frank Duff in 1921. Today between active and auxiliary (praying) members, there are more than 10 million members worldwide, making it the largest apostolic organization of lay people in the Catholic Church
