May Crowning at National Shrine Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes
A beautiful ceremony accompanies the traditional Crowning of Mary in May - a month dedicated to her - let's honor her with both our prayerful thanks and petitions for her powerful intercession. A 12 ft. long silk flower crown will be hoisted over 100 ft. in the air to crown our 25 ft. tall gold-leafed bronze statue of our Blessed Mother. The procession and crowning will begin at 1 pm.
