Rain and dreary weather were forgotten during the colorful procession and crowning ceremony held in honor of the Blessed Mother Sunday, May 8, at 4:15 p.n\. in St. Patrick church. Rosa Hughes, chosen unanj imcusly by her classmates as | queen, crowned the Blessed Virgin after the recitation of the rosary. She was assisted by attendants, Grace Weber and Mary Anne Charrey, and a court formed by Judy Groell, Tudy Hay. Bernadine Reid and Carol Miller. The queen carried the crown for the Blessed Virgin on a pillow from which hung four long streamers. First grade girls, Christina Walters, Mary Lou Guzzardo, Cindy Reid, and Patti Rogers, carried these streamers as they accompanied Rosa to the May altar. Cross bearer, Thomas Callaehan, assisted by four acolytes. N o r b e r t Rich, Christopher Wirtz, Joseph Moerschbaecher and Michael Johnson, led the procession of children from the first five grades. As these children were ushered to their pews, a second group from sixth to eighth grade, using the side aisles, formed a living rosary. The queen's court acted as cross for the rosary, while ^ltar boys took other parts. Each child led her own "Hail Mary," which was answered by the congregation. A talk given by Rev. Eugene D. Parker followed the Act of Consecration recited by all the children. Assisting Rev. Edward C. Coakley in the closing Benediction were altar boys, Gary Walsh, Donald Meyer, Allen Miller and James Thennes.
