Schools and parishes around the diocese held traditional May Crownings this month; here are the celebrations shared with the Sun. Does your community have a crowning to share? Send it to info@thecatholicsun.com.

St. Mary’s School sixth-graders Adia Henkel and Danny Reagan serve as the May Queen and King on Sunday, May 14, at the start of the 11:30 a.m. Mass at St. Mary Church in Cortland. Fifty-five children from the school and the parish’s faith-formation program processed into Mass together with flowers for the Blessed Mother. St. Mary’s fifth-grade teacher Eileen Hoyt coordinated the annual event and the children enjoyed an ice cream social after Mass to celebrate Our Lady. -PHOTO COURTESY JEN FISCHER
