Visible Expression

The ecclesial community, while always having a universal dimension, finds its most immediate and visible expression in the parish. It is there that the Church is seen locally. In a certain sense it is...

"... the Church living in the midst of the homes of her sons and daughters..."

Pope John Paul II
Christifideles Laici [27]

O Mary we crown thee with blossoms today...




Crowning of Our Lady's Statue (1988)

Bring flower's of the rarest, bring blossoms the fairest,
From garden, and woodland, and hillside, and dale.
Our full hearts are swelling, our glad voices telling
The praise of the loveliest flower of the vale.

O Mary, we crown thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the Angels and Queen of the May,
O Mary, we crown thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the Angels and Queen of the May,
