The St. Augustine Schola Cantorae will be up at the Shrine of La Leche at 6 p.m. for Vespers and a May Crowning.  Join us if you can!  And here's a thought from one of my favorite poets:

  Muse at that and wonder why;

   Her feasts follow reason,

   Dated due to season –

"Candlemas, Lady Day;

  But the Lady Month, May

   With a feasting in her honour?

   . . . . . . . .

"Ask of her, that mighty mother:

   Her reply puts this other

   Question: What is Spring? –

   Growth in every thing –
