It is a Catholic tradition to honor Mary, our Mother, during the month of May by placing on her statue a crown of flowers. This lovely devotional ceremony has been a favorite in our churches for years. This year, we will be holding a parish wide crowning of Mary on Sunday, May 1 at 1PM at St. Bartholomew in the outside Mary Courtyard. Our children will also have the opportunity to create their own Mary Garden to bring home. Everyone is welcome to attend.
