It's a beloved Mother of God tradition, the origins of which aren't entirely clear. But we're pretty sure it's unique to our parish and embodies the joyful spirit and enviable fashion sense of our community. We're talking, of course, about Hawaiian Shirt Day. This year the festive explosion of colorful apparel is scheduled for Sunday, July 14. Don your finest tropical- or floral-themed shirts/blouses to dazzle and delight your pew mates.
