IN honor OF THE VIRGIN.
Processions of Children Marched I'm
the Catholic Churches.

the C0thOlIC
The month of May opened with appro-
pirate exercises by Catholic children in
honor of the blessed Virgin. The first
celebration was at 1890 in the morning at
St. Vincents Academy, where a process
sion of the children wes formed in the
convent grounds, marching thence to the
school ROOM One of their number placed
a floral crown upon the head of the statue
of the Virgin that stands in the room,
while each of the other children deposited
a bouquet at the feet of the figure. The
exercises were pretty and impressive.
Similar exercises were held at the Ca
thedral of St. John the Baptist, at ST.
Patuck's, and at Sacred Heart Churches.
Those at the Cathedral were al s o'clock
at night and were participated in by $50
girls, between the ages of and IS, and
100 boys, The procession moved through
the aisles of the basement of the Cathe
dral. Four young ladies' bore the statue
of the Virgin through the ranks of the
children, and placed it upon a pedestal
prepared near her altar. The Virgin wns
then crowned "Queen of the May all
the children, making their offerings of
flowers until the base of the statue was
mass of bouquets. The singing of the
hymns, Hail Virgin, Dearest Mary" and
Mother. Dear, Oh Pray For Me-" was
beautiful. Father Kelley made few re-
marks upon the Catholic devotions, after
which the benediction of the blessed sac
rRment was given.
Throughout the month of May, which
Is dedicated to the Virgin, there will he
devotFons in all three of the Catholic
thedral are fixed for 6 O'Clock every after
