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.

Next month I will be taking care of my two nephews for four days. Their parents are going away and my family was asked to take care of them. This is a new adventure for me, as honestly I don't usually watch other people's children.
We have four still at home.
The children are not raised Christian, let alone Catholic. I plan to take them to Church with us on Sunday morning. I asked their mother if that was ok with her and she said yes.
I have never taken someone else's children to Church. My kids have been going all their lives.
Should I really go? What should I expect? Help?
Thank you!

Hi, Jill!
Bless you for saying YES. I'm not a "take care of other children unless it's an emergency" kinda person either, so I get it.

How old are your nephews?

And, how old are your kids that go with you to Mass?
