Currently, the crowning of an image of the Blessed Virgin Mary may take place “within Mass, within the liturgy of the hour at evening prayer, or within a celebration of the word of God.” Thank you to the girls (EmilyArellano, Roselie Hull, Elisa Gordon, pictured and Annie Kate Duvall) and their families that help during the Crowning of the BVM at Sacred Heart Parish. Through the intercession of the BVM may we become the people that Christ is asking us to be. Immaculate Heart of Mary, Pray for us! Our Lady of Fatima, Pray for us!
