Benedict XVI on the Importance of Sunday Mass
[Excerpted from Zenit] From now on I entrust this meeting to the Virgin Mary that she may teach us to love Jesus ever more, in constant meditation of his Word and adoration of his Eucharistic presence, and help us to make young generations discover the "precious pearl" of the Eucharist, which gives true and full meaning to life. The director and editors of Mary Page under the auspices of the International Marian Research Institute do not necessarily endorse or agree with the events and ideas expressed in this feature. Our sole purpose is to report on items about Mary gleaned from a myriad of papers representing the secular press. A Tradition Lives on at Marian Natalie Sheer was selected May Queen and given the honor of crowning a statue of the Virgin Mary, at Marian Catholic High School's annual May Procession. Sheer is a daughter of Stephen and Teresa Sheer of McAdoo. Members of her court included: Heather O'Gurek, daughter of John and Diane O'Gurek, New Ringgold; Megan Moran, daughter of Christine Moran, Nesquehoning and the late Robert J. Moran; Jennifer Blasko, daughter of Robert and Robin Blasko, Summit Hill; Elizabeth Marzen, daughter of John and Bernadette Marzen, Lehighton; and Sharon York, daughter of George and Patricia York, Summit Hill. The school has held the annual tribute since it was founded in 1954, a year that was dedicated to Mary and called "The Marian Year." It was then that Archbishop John F. O'Hara decided to combine three existing schools--St. Jerome in Tamaqua, St. Mary's in Coaldale, and St. Ann's in Lansford--into one diocesan high school staffed by Sisters in the Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary order. The school's principal is Sister Bernard Agnes. Sheer is a eucharistic minister at weekly Masses and a member of the peer listeners. She also participates in concert band and track and attended the Pennsylvania Free Enterprise Week. She has been an altar server for the past eight years and a lector at St. Patrick's Church in McAdoo. The Rev. George Winne, the school's director of spiritual activities, celebrated the May 11 Mass.
Second Graders Help With 'May Crowning' The second-grade class at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic School in Port Charlotte had the distinct honor of being the participants in the May Crowning of the statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary on May 13. Dressed in their First Communion outfits and carrying white carnations, class members proceeded from the church to the renovated school courtyard, where the statue of Mary has been moved. Family, friends, staff and students gathered for the ceremony where Kailey Calkins and Jonathan Porto climbed the base of the statue. Calkins then placed the wreath of flowers on the statue of the Blessed Virgin. After the ceremony, Wendy Lioon's first-grade class hosted a breakfast honoring the second-graders who have all recently received their First Communion. Our Mary Page web site is updated frequently. Please stop in again and see What's New.
