May Crowning at a Distance
There is a popular saying, “Show me who you are,” that is meant to encourage authenticity, courage, and morality. In May, in many Catholic parishes, the May Crowning ceremony is not only a remembrance of the Blessed Mother Mary, but it is also a reminder to matriculating 8th graders that, like Mary, they are people of faith and morals. This year, the quarantine made a Mass celebration impossible, so St. Cajetan School principal Michelle Nitsche and staff created a way for students to participate remotely.
“May Crowning at St. Cajetan is a significant ritual that allows us to honor Mary, Queen of Heaven and Earth. Our 8th grade class looks forward to this service each and every year as they lead our entire school in prayer. One female 8th grade student, who displays the positive character traits Mary did, is chosen by her classmates to crown Mary. Due to the pandemic and not being in school, we knew that we had to think of a creative way to share this beautiful service with our students and community,” Principal Nitsche said.
