We will celebrate Mother's Day with our own mothers and families this weekend. We celebrate Mary, Mother of Christ and Mary, Mother of the Church this entire month of May. In honor of Mary, we begin and end the school day with a Hail, Mary. Mary's union with the work of the Son gives us all a perfect model of obedience, faith, hope and love.
On Wednesday, May 6, we will gather for Marian devotion with a May Crowning to honor Mary as the queen of heaven and earth. Our eighth grade students will lead us in prayer for the intercession of Mary so that she will help us in our efforts to do the will of the Father and the Son. The second and eighth grade students will represent the beads of our Living Rosary.
Please join us for this moving devotion at 1:30pm in the St. John Vianney church. We will be honored to have you join us in prayer.
Memorare
REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
Peace,
