This year the recently formed Children of Mary Circle at Church of the Assumption in Germantown took on one of the biggest celebrations of the year, the parish May Crowning on Sunday, May 7. To prepare, the girls handmade the crown, washed the Mary statue outside the church, and more on Saturday, May 6. Meredith Pelham, director of religious education at Assumption, right, gathers the girls so they can start making the crown for Mary.
