May Crowning
Sunday, May 15

We crown Mary today to present her queenship as the mother of Jesus. We bring flowers to her to show the importance of Our Mother Mary in our Church. It is clear that we do not worship Mary but we honor and venerate her. There are families who do their own May Crowning at home as well. She is our “Queen of heaven.” May we strive to say yes everyday to God as she did. During this month, please feel free to bring floral arrangements to adorn our Mary Altar.

Amen? Amen.
Father Jamie

Pastor's Ramblings

STUMP THE PRIESTS. We had a great turnout for our second Stump the Priest Q & A! The questions were thoughtful and it was fun trying to come up with the right answers. Monsignor Lane, Deacon Nathan, Fr. Anthony and I fared pretty well. I’m hoping this will be an annual event since it was so well attended and we heard from parishioners that many of them learned something!

ACOLYTE. I would like to thank Joe Fondacaro for all of the hard work and support he gave me during the Triduum and Easter liturgies. He was absolutely invaluable.

MARY ALTAR. Thank you to Terry Hale and our Worship summer team for the beautiful Mary altar decorations to celebrate the month of Our Blessed Mother. All during May you can bring flowers to adorn the altar. Vases are available at the sides of the altar.

RUNNER’S BLESSING. It’s always encouraging to see so many runners attend Mass and receive a blessing before they run the Flying Pig Marathon. Each runner also received a St. Sebastian medal to keep them safe.

CONGRATULATIONS! Congratulations to Joshua and Riley Phelan who were married on April 28 at St. Cecilia.

6MOM’S GROUP. The mom’s group packed up the kids and their strollers to have a morning together at the zoo and to share the joys and the issues of motherhood.

WELCOME, CHILDREN OF GOD! Welcome Lupita Denisse and Emmanuel, children of Ramon and Yolanda Vega. Welcome Maria Gianna, daughter of parishioners and Welcoming Committee Chairs, Andrew and Katie Blum.
