Nothing says ‘Catholic’ quite like a May crowning in the month of Mary in the context of Mass, in a beautiful Cathedral church beautified with images of our Lord’s life and of Mary and the saints, honoring second graders who just received their First Holy Communion, praying for 8th graders about to receive the sacrament of Confirmation, in gratitude for our faculty, staff and parents! All students and faculty members present flowers to Mary, singing hymns to honor her.
