Crowning of the Blessed Virgin Mary

On the first Sunday of May, some of the students of our First Holy Communion class, Jasmine Bradbury, Veronika Murphy and Viviana Galindo participated in the crowning of the Blessed Virgin Mary at the beginning of 9 am Holy Mass. They also served for the first time as altar servers at Holy Cross. Congratulations!

The litany to Blessed Virgin Mary was recited. The same ceremony took place at the beginning of the 11 am Holy Mass with some students who are preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation: Amy Tarazona, Jayden Estacio, Nicholas Gizzi, Athena Galindo, Dianne Tarazona and Stephanie Tarazona. Altar servers Chris and Daniel Galindo participated in the procession as well. 

We thank all of the youth and their parents for their support and involvement in our parish. The Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of Jesus is our spiritual Mother. She is the Queen of Apostles, Martyrs and all the saints. Hail Mary, pray for us.
