On Mother’s Day, May 10, Our Blessed Mother was honored with a solemn procession and May Crowning at St. Stanislaus. Young and old followed the clergy into the bright spring sunshine, carrying blossoms and bouquets to the feet of Our Lady in the Marian grotto.
"Come, let us twine a wreath most rare,
To deck our May-day Queen.
Composed of flowers fresh and fair.
With leaves of brightest green."
"Mary, take the humble crown
Thy children twine for thee,
And from thy Heavenly throne smile down
In love and clemency."
"Thus from our hearts' own garden bed
The choicest flowers we'll glean,
With loving hands to deck the head
Of May-day's beauteous Queen."
"Thy subjects we are proud to be,
And fondly own thy sway;
Oh! may all hearts e'er bow to thee,
And hail thee Queen of May!"
Salve Regina!
