Last Friday, St. Philip the Apostle School (SPAS) 8th graders partook in the tradition of May Crowning. Their families were able to safely attend the Prayer Service. It has been a long-standing Catholic tradition to honor the Blessed Virgin Mary in May. In most Catholic churches and schools, a “May Altar” is erected with a statue or picture of Mary, flowers, and perhaps candles. The altar stands from May 1 to 31 as a reminder of Mary’s importance in the life of the Church and in everyone’s lives as well.
