May Crowning Edition
St. Joseph Parish
We are a community striving together for Heaven
Mary, Our Mother
It's May...and it's a beautiful day! I just wanted to consolidate a few ideas that have been floating around on Mary for the month of May. Whether you have a Mary statue at home, or you print a picture of Mary off from the internet, you can come together as a family and spend some time praying with Mary today! We made our crown with a pipe cleaner and some beads, but you could make it with just about anything! Please watch/listen to this video from Father Mike Schmitz regarding why we call Mary our mother. I just love how he is able to help me understand that we can become closer to Jesus through Mary.

At Home Service for Crowning an Image of the Blessed Virgin Mary
The Archdiocese of Milwaukee created an "At Home" service for Crowning of Mary. You can use parts of it or all of it and make it what works for your family.

Say a Special Rosary as a Family
Pray the rosary together today (as as much as possible this month) in honor of Mary and ask her for her intercessions with all your needs. She is reflecting Jesus' love for us and has been given by Jesus to be our mother.
Crowning of Mary
Check out my family's short crowning of Mary that we did. We used some of the Archdiocese suggestion to make it our own! Create your own and snap a picture of your own Mary crowning. We'd love to see them! You can print off, color and hang up this picture of Mary too!
