For centuries, May has been a month in which the Catholic Church honors the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church. Devotions are traditionally held in a tribute of faith, reverence, and love to our Blessed Mother, according to a press release.
On Thursday, May 13, Catholic school students across Maine will pray the Holy Rosary during special events to implore Mary’s intercession and protection in our world, according to the release.
At St. James School in Biddeford a crowning of Mary will be led by the fourth-grade at 1 p.m., followed by age-appropriate Holy Rosary activities.
