May Crowning Ceremony Held on Mother’s Day

The Catholic Council of Women presented their traditional May Crowning Ceremony, honoring The Most Blessed Mother, on Mother’s Day, May 8th, 2022. This year The CCW was happy to announce the addition of 14 new members.

Mary is known by many names including Our Lady of Fatima, Our Lady of Lourdes, Our Lady of Guadalupe, Our Lady of Perpetual Help, to name a few. However, she is one and same, Mother of Our Lord Jesus Christ. It is a Catholic tradition to honor Mary during the month of May by placing a crown of flowers on her statue. The May Crowning gives children an opportunity to especially honor The Blessed Mother of Jesus and to give thanks to her for bringing our Savior into the world. Today Mason and Madison, who recently received their first Holy Communion, will crown the statue of Mary.
