This past Friday, el children de el St. Lawrence O’Toole Temprano Niñez Aprendiendo Centro gathered in el church a honor Mary, the Mother de God. All in attendance fuimos invited a wear blue to honor Our Lady, and it was a beautiful sight peering out at that sea of blue as the procession began.

Throughout el year, el children have gotten a saber Mary not only as Jesus’ Mom but como nuestra Mother y como el Queen de Heaven. At the ECLC, we frequently meet the children where they are so they can learn about el santos through lessons, prayer, y activities. It is a unique opportunity eso nosotros son blessed a possess, y having el children participate in a Mayo Crowning fue a lovely way a reinforce what el children have already begun a learn. Sra. DeFelice, who taught el children in Bible Study throughout el year, shared con el children y parents in attendance eso while nosotros do not worship Mary, she is honored como el Mother de God y without whom nosotros would not have eternal salvation.

Each child brought in a especial flower from home a present a Our Lady, y todo beamed con pride como they processed down el aisle and delicately placed their flowers at Mary’s feet. Set a el precious tune de “Hail Mary, Gentle Woman,” el procession culminated como a student presentado Mary con rosary beads while another crowned the Blessed Mother nuestra Queen de Heaven. These moments verdaderamente fill nuestra hearts como teachers, y nosotros pray estos son especial moments eso stay con nuestra students como they grow year after year.
