Month of Mary Celebrations in Maine: For centuries, the month of May has been dedicated to Mary, the Mother of God. During May, it is common for parishes to honor the Blessed Mother with May Crowning ceremonies, Rosary gatherings, and other events. A special section on the diocesan website includes many of these opportunities as well as prayers and additional resources. To view the section, visit www.portlanddiocese.org/celebrating-month-mary. The section will be updated as events are confirmed across Maine.
