Flowers of
Our Lady
Also at our April
meeting, Francesca Anthony gave a presentation about an organization dedicated
to the development of gardens
honoring the Blessed Virgin Mary. Gardening can be
a prayerful work. A garden may be made edifying and instructive to children
and adults. And now you, your family, and neighbors may honor Mary by
prayerfully sowing, tending, harvesting and offering flowers and plants named
for her in old popular tradition. Mary’s Gardens
was founded in 1951 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to research the hundreds of
flowers named in medieval times as symbols of the life, mysteries and
privileges of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Jesus–as recorded by
botanists, folklorists and lexicographers; and to assist in the planting of
“Mary Gardens” of “Flowers of Our Lady” today. For more information, please go to www.mgardens.org or paste this link into

additional pictures of the 2010 Carnival Please be patient while the pictures
load! Last year, Bishop Serratelli created a Diocesan Honor to recognize the
contributions of the faithful to the mission of Christ and His Church. The Vivere
Christus Est medal is awarded to women and men throughout the diocese as
a way of expressing gratitude and appreciation for unselfish service to their
parish community. As Father Paul mentioned in his recent letter in the bulletin, Mary
“joined, belonged to and volunteered for almost every organization she
could….Most recently she has served as an Extraordinary Minister, a member of
one of our consolation teams, and a Columbiette.” Mary is also a member of our Rosary Society. Our Lady of
Czestochowa At our April meeting, Fr. Pawel Szurek gave a wonderful presentation on Our Lady of Czestochowa the Queen of Poland. Fr. Pawel gave us a short history lesson on Poland and discussed the legend and facts about the picture. He showed us many icons and pictures of Our Lady that he brought with him from Poland. Thank you Fr. Pawel for sharing personal stories about your family’s devotion to Our Lady of Czestochowa. In addition, Fr. Pawel introduced his CD, Spiritual
Contemplation: An Awakening of the Soul and autographed his new book, “A
New Day – 30-day Spiritual Renewal”. |
