After installation at the front of the church, the statue of the Virgin Mary at Fatima, on loan to St. Mary from the World Apostolate of Fatima, was adorned by a crown of white roses and blue flowers by third grader Zoey Buczek. Fourteen adult members of the parish, having prepared using the program “33 Days to Morning Glory” by Father Donald Calloway, consecrated themselves to Mary and were invested in the Brown Scapular by St. Mary’s pastor, Father Kevin Huber. A reception followed at the St. Agnes Center with refreshments donated by Strack and Van Til and provided by the members of the Knights of Columbus and the Altar and Rosary Society.
