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.

Dictionaries and Encyclopedias:

For Children:

::A Child's First Catholic Dictionary
by Richard W. Dyches and Thomas Mustachio, Ave Maria Press, 1994.
OOP, but used hardcover copies available for reasonable prices.

::A Catholic Child's Picture Dictionary
by Ruth Hannon, illustrated by Ted Chaiko. This is a reprint from a SSPX Press of a 1956 book from Catechetical Guild Educational Society. Very lovely.

For older readers to adult:

::Catholic Picture Dictionary

::Catholic Bible Dictionary

I love this fabulous new Bible dictionary!

This is my favorite go-to.

Catholic Encyclopedias

::The Catholic Concise Encylopedia Compiled by Robert C. Broderick, MA, Catechetical Guild Educational Society, 1957. This is a small one volume edition, more like a dictionary. OOP

Also Robert C. Broderick is in print, larger, but I haven't done a comparison.

I know there are multi-volumes of Catholic Encyclopedias. The ones online are the older versions.
