As part of our 75th Anniversary celebration, our parish has been hosting Our Lady of the New Millennium for the past two weeks. The statue was commissioned by the late Carl Demma and was inspired by his life-long devotion to Our Blessed Mother. In 1999, Pope John Paul II blessed it during his trip to St. Louis.
Sunday was one of the few beautiful days we've had in the last two weeks. So during Mass, John and I took turns taking Lola for a walk outside to visit Mary. When I took her out, I told her to say "Hello" to Mary and she waved at her! Lola waves when she hears the word "Hello", so it was very sweet for her to greet Mary (who Mommy prayed to when we were trying to get pregnant again.) A special moment for sure...
