The Mother's Day weather sure was disappointing, but the show still went on for Roses for Our Lady as they held Milwaukee's largest May Crowning event indoors at St. Vincent Pallotti church on 54th and Bluemound Rd in Milwaukee. The beautiful ceremony, presided by Fr. Timothy Kitzke, Pastor of Three Holy Women parish and co-presided by Fr. James Kubicki and Fr. Paul Schneider, was attended by 300 people from all over the city. Marian hymns were sung by the Andress Sisters as first communicants knelt and crowned a statue of the Blessed Mother.
