The May Crowning Mass will take place on Friday, May 1st at 8:35 AM. This is a beautiful tradition in which we honor Mary, and we invite all students to participate. We are asking students to bring in cut flowers—either from a store or from your own garden. These flowers will be placed in vases and arranged around our Mary statue as part of the celebration. Please bring flowers to school on Thursday, April 30th or Friday, May 1st before Mass, so we have time to prepare the arrangements.
The Kindergarten class will be hosting the Mass. During the ceremony, the two oldest 8th grade students and the two youngest Pre-K students will have the special honor of crowning Mary. Additionally, our 4th grade students will be playing their recorders during the Mass.
We are also asking that all students bring one or two cans of food to Mass to support the Des Moines Food Bank. Thank you for helping make this a meaningful and special celebration for our school community!
