May Crowning Sunday, May 2 - 10:30 AM Mass With the month of May traditionally devoted to Mary, St. Mary Parish in Ridgefield kicked it off with a "May Crowning." Young girls of the Parish were invited to bring a flower from their own garden to Mass on Sunday, May 2nd. The oldest girl at the 10:30 AM Mass placed a flower crown; followed by a short procession with song--and then everyone was invited to add their flowers to a vase next to our Blessed Mother and kneel before her for a moment of prayer. It was well attended and God blessed the morning with incredibly beautiful weather. The Knights of Columbus constructed a liter to carry the statue for the procession. The Blessed Mother statue is on the right of the altar in the Nancy Bossidy Rec Center and can be venerated all throughout the month of May.
