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.

When you want to find out how the Catholic Church answers a question (i.e. "What does the Catholic Church say about ______" or "Does the Catholic Church allow ___________), where do you look online to research?

Are there any tricks you have learning that help you in your research?

Thanks!

Often after checking the sources above, I'll want a point clarified which is when I ask a trustworthy priest...usually my brother.
