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.

Dear Janet,
I think Ave Maria offers a degree in music. It might be specifically sacred music - I'm not sure, but it might be something to check.

My oldest son graduated from Notre Dame last year and I must say, despite their problems with their Catholic identity, they have an excellent dorm system. No co-ed dorms and no fraternities or sororities and no separate athletic dorms. All freshman are required to live on campus and overall about 80% of students live on campus. The majority of students live in the same hall all 4 years. There are lots of hall dances, intramural sports and traditions that help students develop a real camaraderie.

It sounds like your daughter is a mature young lady with her priorities straight. It will be a culture shock I'm sure, especially football game days - I'm in AL too and know how people countdown the days till the season opens. I think a real danger is in her becoming desensitized to all the ugliness and sinful activity that will be occurring. When you are surrounded by it day after day, you cease being shocked by it.

You're in my prayers!

Blessings,
Kym
