A sun-filled day greeted the children who assembled in the entryway of Sacred Heart Church on Sunday May 3rd. Dressed in their finest and carrying fresh flowers, they were preparing for May Crowning to honor the Blessed Virgin Mary, recognizing her as the Queen of Heaven and the Mother of God. While the choir sang the traditional hymn, "Bring Flowers of the Fairest," brother and sister Juan Antonio and Flor Margarita Gonzales carried a small crown on a cushion while approaching the statue of Mary. Flor Margarita placed the crown on the statue of the Blessed Virgin and then all the children individually placed their flowers in vases at Mary's feet. This devotion was then followed by Mass. Each week, these young people are learning the fundamentals and traditions of their Catholic faith in religious education classes. Religious education is offered each Saturday from 9:30 am to 11:30 am. For information call 303-294-9830
