HAIL MARY, FULL OF GRACE
Please send us a cellphone video of you and/or your family praying a Hail Mary. One way our parish will honor Mary this May is by creating a virtual parish rosary. Suggestions for filming:
- Please have 5 seconds of silence at the beginning and end of the video
- Please make sure there is no background noise such as wind or traffic
- Please make sure your voice can be heard
All are welcome to submit a video by May 10 to: dmoriarty@stmaryuxbridge.org
ADORATION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT
Beginning Wednesday, May 6 from 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM
The Eucharist will be exposed in the
monstrance in the center window of the
parish hall. All are invited to park in the spaces
along the hall and adore from your car.
O Sacrament Most Holy,
O Sacrament Divine,
All praise and all Thanksgiving
be every moment Thine.
CROWNING OF MARY
and
BLESSING OF MOTHERS!
Crowning will be live streamed on Sunday, May 10, 12:00 PM,
followed immediately by a drive-thru blessing of Mothers!
All Moms are welcomed!
We will hold a May Crowning on Mother's Day at noon, as a way to honor Mary, the mother of God and Queen of heaven and earth. Immediately following the crowning, we will have a drive-thru Blessing of Mothers! We honor Mary as our heavenly mother who watches over us, intercedes on our behalf and always leads us to her son, Jesus Christ. We also honor our own mothers as they care for us and love us unconditionally. During the month of May you are invited to leave flowers at the base of the statue in gratitude for Our Blessed Mother.
A May Crowning is not just a “church” thing! We can and should be doing the same in our homes. When we echo the customs and traditions of the Church in our homes – our domestic churches – we participate more fully in the life of the Church. The May Crowning and Blessing will be posted later on both our Facebook and YouTube channels along with our parish website.
THE DOMESTIC CHURCH
We love seeing your photos from your home as the Church always begins with family; the smallest gathering of believers in Christ known as the “Domestic Church". This term dates back to the first century AD and is from the Greek word ecclesiola referring to “little church”. The Early Church Fathers understood that home was fertile ground for discipleship, sanctification, and holiness!
