I had a great day signing at the Willington Costco Location where I met MaryGrace and her mother. I commented on her name and how beautiful I thought it was. MaryGrace’s mother explained to me how they arrived at their daughter’s name:
The month of May is dedicated to Mary the Mother of God. Why May? The short answer is that in Classic Western Culture, May is recognized as the season of new life and thus the month of Motherhood. Since MaryGrace was born in May, she was named after the Blessed Mother.
The second part of her name however, was not attached to such “holiness”. MaryGrace was born in Grace Hospital and thus the reason for the latter part of her name!! I thought that was great sharing and decided to pass it along to you.
Thanks for sending in the photo, MaryGrace, much appreciated!! Love the name!!”

The month of May is dedicated to Mary the Mother of God and being born in May MaryGrace was named after our Holy Mother.
