The Children of Mary provides a simple and beautiful opportunity for our children to consecrate themselves in a special way to Our Blessed Mother! And, Mother Mary intercedes for us, and leads us directly to her Son, Our Lord Jesus!
Currently, these children attend and participate in the procession during the 9:30 AM Mass on the 1st Sunday of each month during the school year (October - June). Current members wear their mantillas (girls) or sashes (boys) and process in as a group, sitting in the front pews during the Mass. They process out as a group and be directed downstairs to the church hall where parents can meet them for 1st Sunday fellowship, coffee, donuts, and a craft!
Children of Mary Events: 1st Sunday Mass, Forty Hours Devotion (November), Holy Thursday procession (March/April), the May Crowning Ceremony (1st Sunday in May), and Corpus Christi procession (June).
Any child who has received his/her 1st Holy Communion is welcome to join. There will be a special induction Mass in the Fall for new members. Any young children who have not yet received their 1st Holy Communion are welcome to join us. It would be best if one or both parents would sit with them up front.
