May
Events 2008 May Crowning May is dedicated to Mary, the mother of Jesus. As is customary at Holy Angels and in many Catholic churches, we begin the month by crowning a statue of Mary with a floral crown, and honoring Mary with flowers around her statue before the altar. Our statue of Mary is in an African style connecting with cultural roots of may of our parishioners, and our style of worship. Children of the parish brought the crown and flowers to the altar on the first Sunday of the month, and offered prayerful tribute to our Blessed Mother. Music for the day's liturgies incorporated song in praise of Mary. The rosary is prayed before each Sunday mass throughout the month. (Ceremony photos courtesy of Eugene Hawkins) |

In
this year an unusual coincidence occurred in liturgical and
secular calendars. The great feast of Pentecost fell on the
same day as Mothers' Day. So at Holy Angels we celebrated both
with deference to commemorating the descent of the Holy Spirit
upon the apostles. (Pentecost - Mothers' Day photos courtesy of Carolyn Sylvester) |
