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.

My son wanted to be St. Francis (no competition there) for All Saints and for Trick-or-Treating at the Little Sisters of the Poor residence.

I have to say Im very proud of both the costume and my little guy, and Im (apparently) not above asking people for positive reinforcement cause here's the link to some pictures of My Little Franciscan...

Right Here

My blog is very new...about two weeks old. Any comments are welcome!
Please be kind, though, Im a self-taught sewer.

Better than my first Franciscan...or 2nd for that matter! Mine were too fitted and too loose. Yours looks just right.

Thank you, Emily :-).
I just got the report as to how the day at LSP went, and found out that our new Bishop (Bishop Zubik, a Pittsburgh native)asked to have his picture taken "with Saint Francis" and so it was...I hope they will send me a copy, as I was working and missed the photo op myself.
