Following Mass this Thursday, May 2, which was celebrated by Fr. Andrew Taormina ’54 SA, members of the Brother Martin community gathered for a May Crowning in front of the Blessed Mother’s statue in the Backyard. Senior Tyler Rico '24 placed a crown of flowers upon the statue of Mary, and members of the monthly parent’s club rosary group each laid a flower by Mary’s feet to lovely music played by Mr. Dominick Caronna ’85 and Alex Ng ‘27. Then, members of the group met in the James B. Branton Chapel for their monthly rosary service. Guests received a Mary pin and a prayer card with The Memorare courtesy of the Ladies of the Shield and Campus Ministry. 

We would like to thank everyone who attended the crowning in honor of our Blessed Mother. 

The Memorare

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,

that never was it known 

that anyone who fled to thy protection, 

implored thy help, 

or sought thy intercession, 

was left unaided. 

Inspired by this confidence 

I fly unto thee, 

O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. 

To thee do I come, 

before thee I stand, 

sinful and sorrowful. 

O Mother of the Word Incarnate,

despise not my petitions, 

but in thy mercy hear and answer me. 

Amen.
