Rose Award Ceremony

On May 13th, the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima, the Peoria DCCW held our first ever Rose Award Ceremony at the Cathedral of St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception in Peoria.

Mass to Honor Women & First Annual Rose Award

 

               

Women and Girls of All Ages

In the month of our Mother Mary

Join us Saturday, May 13

 9:00-11:30 am for a Morning of

Prayer, Honor, and Blessings

 Cathedral of St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception, Peoria   

As we immerse ourselves in beautiful music, song, and liturgy, surrounded by the beauty of the

Mother Church of our diocese, we will honor Mary and

all women of our diocese.

“Blessed are you among women; blessed in turn all women, too.”

 

We will recognize mothers of priests and seminarians with special seating in pews with ribbons. 

The morning will include:

 

Recitation of the Most Holy Rosary with prayer and song

 Procession bringing flowers to Mary’s altar

 Holy Mass- Fr. Chase Hilgenbrinck, presiding

Honoring of all Graduates and Rose Award Scholarships presented

*The Rose Award Scholarships encourage young women who actively live their Catholic faith to continue their participation and grow in leadership, spirituality, and service throughout their lives.  For, in the words of Saint John Paul II, “the liberating message of the Gospel of Life has been put into your hands, and the mission of proclaiming it to the ends of the earth is now passing to your generation.”

 

We invite you to bring flowers from your yard to be placed on Mary’s altar during the procession.

No registration is required.

Sponsored by the Peoria Diocesan Council of Catholic Women’s

Women Connect Ministry

*If you have not heard of the PDCCW Rose Award, ask your parish priest about it. Nomination
