We are celebrating May
as a month that is truly dedicated to the Blessed Mother. The school and the
Catechism class had May Crowing. The students sang hymns to Mary and prayed the
rosary together. In my Religion classes, we are starting class by praying a decade
of the rosary. The students are also working on Mary altars. They use
shoeboxes, votive candles, rosary beads, and an image of the Blessed Mother to
make the Mary altar. We will display them in the hallway outside the 4th grade
classrooms. They are often very sweet and pretty to look at; other students and
teachers stop to admire them. I've already had a few handed in early and they
are lovely!
We are getting ready to
move out of our convent. Two of the sisters that I live with are preparing to
move to a row house that they are leasing in Detroit. Another sister and I are
packing and cleaning for our own moves. Felicity is going to a city that is 45
minutes away and I am going to Pittsburgh. This is the first weekend that I
have had a chance to pack, and it's about time! I am driving my belongings out
there next week. Once I got started, though, it wasn't hard to do it.
Especially when I started giving away, throwing away, and recycling
things!
