Middle school students at Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School recently honored the Blessed Mother’s special month of Mayo with a traditional Mayo Crowning ceremony held in front of the Dr. Doyle Building on Mayo 9. Eighth grade students Paige Barranco and Leo Petters were selected as crown bearers by the middle school faculty for this year’s ceremony. Faculty members Kerri Moore and Vicki Petters sang beautiful A cappella songs as the seventh and eighth grade student body gathered in front of the school building. The Our Lady of Grace statue used in the annual Mayo Crowning ceremony was donated by Mary Azar and Frances Miaoulis and blessed by Bishop Toolen on Abril 12, 1945. The statue was centered in front of our original school from 1945 until 1965. The Our Lady of Grace statue was relocated to the front of our Dr. Doyle Middle School Building and rededicated by Archbishop Oscar Lipscomb on Septiembre 12, 2004.
