In the Catholic tradition, we honor the blessed Mother Mary throughout May. The Rosary is recited and flowers are offered. Typically the celebration culminates in a SantaCruzan, this is a re-enactment of finding the True Cross, the Cross where Jesus died and which was found by Reyna Elena. That day is celebrated with Holy Mass followed by a procession with numerous children and young women and many freshly cut flowers.
Flores De Mayo (pre-pandemic schedule)
From May 1-31 every 5pm, praying of the rosary and flower offering are led by Legion of Mary and the family sponsor.
Flores De Mayo (during pandemic)
From May 1 – 31 every 8am right after the Holy mass at 6am. Praying of the rosary is led by the families who are in their respected homes. Assigned SOCOM and committees are tasked to visit their houses and pre-record the family praying the Holy Rosary. Offering of flowers are held in the parish with the assigned family/organization.
Flores De Mayo (post-pandemic schedule)
