I have approached the priest at my parish about a May Crowning at Church. (ours is not one to do these types of things)

He said we would need to find the booklet (pamphlet) with the exact ritual of a May Crowning laid out (an official ritual). He said he has seen this booklet, but cannot remember where.

Can anyone out there help with finding such a booklet? I have checked some of the usual places: EWTN, USCCB, etc. (doing searches).

Thank you for any assistance you can provide!

I hope it helps.
 
I must add, we have a crowning, just like when I was a girl, little children in their First Communion finery, processing to crown the Queen of Heaven. The best part: the tradtional hymn, “O’ Mary we crown thee with blossoms today,” is played with an air of jubilation and triumph, unlike in the dirgelike way I have heard it in the past. If you have any influence with the organist, urge them to step up the tempo. Good luck.
