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.

During my brief stay in the Daughters of St. Paul convent when I was 16, this was brought to my attention.

Jenn, which DSP convent did you stay at? I was blessed to have free access to them when I was growing up---they have a house and store in Staten Island, NY. They were so very wonderful, and joyfully holy. I went to several discernment weekends with them; they helped me realize that my vocation was to the married life. I have such a soft spot for them, and I always go visit when I'm home in NY!


I joined the DSP when I was 16, and that required going to Boston (Jamaica Plain) at their motherhouse. My sister also joined. We had done discernment weekends in Metaire, LA (we lived in Shreveport at the time) and enjoyed it. I lasted 3 months, though, before they asked me to leave. My sister lasted 5 years, though.
