Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I read about taking your 12-year old on a weekend away here and I really like this idea. I checked into the Purity Get-a-way, but was wondering if anybody has done something like this with a Catholic based book, workbook, etc.? I'm sure I could come up with my own thing, more of a natural talk instead of guided questions, but if there is something out there for Catholics I would be interested in checking it out.

I do have the All Things Girls books, but I'm not entirely happy with them (labeling of girls as sporty, bookish, etc. - not my style).

I'm also planning to do a one day local "do what you want" day when my only girl becomes a woman . I saw that on The Cosby Show years ago and thought that it was such a wonderful idea to celebrate this change.
