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.

Our new parish is named Our Lady of the Valley. I've been trying to find some information about this title for our Lady, but haven't had any luck. Even Google couldn't help. Do you know where this title came from?
Thanks!
Jennifer

I don't know for sure, but an wondering if it came from the statue to Our Lady in Venezuela (Margarita Island) known by this title - La Virgen de Valle which translates as Virgin of the Valley. And there is a festival in Spain with her under similar title.

I just found this on a Marian Calendar:

June 7. Our Lady of the Valley of the Cistercian Order.

So this feast is celebrated in June, you might be able to rabbit trail with this info...
