Ceremony of Devotion: In observance of May as a special month of devotion to the Virgin Mary, ceremonies including the crowning of the statue of the Blessed Lady were held this week at St. John's Catholic Church in Ypsilanti. This year's outstanding eight-grade girl chosen from St. John's school to place the crown is Bonnie Samar. Serving as page boys holding her train are Skipper Diegel (left, above) and Michael Rickelmann. Before the crowning ceremonies, children of the school formed a living Rosary which extended throughout the church as each recited prayers and lit a candle.
