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.

Planning anything special?

Here are some past threads which mention Bl. Junipero Serra with resources and ideas in some.

I am hosting a St. Junipero Serra Canonization Celebration series for our homeschool group. On Wednesday and Thursday we are having a drop-in and learn about Fr. Serra and the missions activity.

Grinding corn
Making own corn tortillas (eat with frijoles)
Sharing examples of other foods/staples from the missions
St. Junipero Serra craft (bottle cap magnet)
Mission prayers
Contests

Then at end of week hosting a couple's wine and cheese night. Father Junípero Serra planted California's first sustainable vineyard at Mission San Juan Capistrano , and began the first winery in 1783. Drinking Califonia wines (HT-Jenn for calling my attention to Drinking with the Saints post)

Pope Francis will canonize Blessed Junipero Serra on September 23, 2015 at the National Shrine in Washington D.C. (4:15 EST) during his apostolic trip to the United States. The first saint to be canonized in the United States. Live Stream: You can watch the live stream of the Mass.

Are any DC area folks going?
