May Crowning at Saints Cyril and Methodius School

SSCM students honor the Blessed Virgin Mary at their May Crowning.

First Holy Communion students at Saints Cyril and Methodius School in Deer Park had an opportunity to don their lovely Communion outfits again this month in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Following their first Holy Communion by offering their devotions to the Blessed Mother seemed a perfect way to honor Mary during this month of Mother’s Day celebrations.

Students adorned Mary in a crown of flowers symbolizing recognition of Mary as queen of heaven and earth. The students took each of their responsibilities very seriously, as they stepped up to read responsorial psalms, bring the gifts of blood and wine or beautify the altar with flowers and the sweetest montage of pictures of each Communicant with their own mothers.
