Our May Crowning will be tomorrow, Saturday, May 31, the Feast of the Visitation of our Blessed Mother to St. Elizabeth. We will liturgically crown the Our Lady of the Cape statue during Mass, and we will devotionally crown the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary statue in the Shrine-Grotto. We will process to the Shrine-Grotto, pray the Holy Rosary of our Blessed Mother and crown her as our Queen. Come honor your spiritual mother who loves you more than you know! Let’s pray that she may “visit” us spiritually as she did St. Elizabeth.
Our new organ will be played for the first time tomorrow—come and lift up your hearts to the Lord!
