Evening in the Marian Garden
Posted by . on May 9th, 2013
There are moments in your life that will be forever imprinted in your memory. This past Thursday night for our evening to honor our Blessed Mother Mary was one of them for me. First as the chair for this event, I was amazed by the overwhelming response from our Women’s Group to assist with this event. The evening started out with a beautiful songs led by various singers and musicians to the precious procession of little angels from our parish to Crown Mary. We followed into the Rosary led by Daryl, then led in International, proceeded by the children of our parish, sung beautifully from Barbara & Mike and finally led by a teen, Erin. It was just so peaceful… Thank you to so many ladies who helped pull this event together! A special thank you to Frankie and Kathleen who decorated Mary in the chapel as though she was positioned on a cloud with the sky under her. Also a big thank you to Kim for sharing the reflection on Mary and who headed up decorating the narthex for our reception. It was an evening to remember forever!
