St. Mary Immaculate Parish School May Crowning

Tuesday May 10, Our Lady was Crowned by her Honor Guard

Our Lady’s Honor Guard consists of Eighth Grade girls who are chosen by being invited to write an essay telling how Mary has influenced their life. These essays are then read anonymously by Mr. Garvey Principal and Mrs. Errthum Assistant Principal and the top essays are chosen. During the crowning ceremony the eighth graders then recited a pledge that is a dedication to Mary. In this pledge they ask Mary to intercede for them and they place themselves in her loving hands.

Also in attendance were the first communicants splendidly dressed in their First Communion outfits. The children sang songs dedicated to Mary, including Hail Mary, Gentle Woman, they sang and singed the Hail Mary.

It was wonderful to see all of our parents in attendance and the church so full. It was truly an outward sign of our SMI tradition of honoring Mary.
