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.

****UPDATED for 2009**** See below.



The Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate in Griswold, CT will be hosting a Men & Boys' Encampment the weekend of October 10th-12th.

Here's a review of the recent summer encampment.

I'm posting it early just to give anyone whose dh might be interested time to prepare. I'll post a reminder closer to the encampment.

I'm happy to answer any questions!

Hi Kristina,

Apparently there is a Blue Knight group in MD that is planning to come up for this next one so that they can have similar encampments in MD. Hopefully that will work out for your family!

I might not be able to get you any info on that group until after the encampment though so please bear with me.

For those of you who live relatively close to CT, the Men & Boys Spring Encampment is coming up this weekend, 5/22-24.

Oh wow!! We're in Northern Virginia but I think my husband is going to have to make the trip with our oldest in the fall. My brother-in-laws live in CT and Boston so we have a backup plan just in case (we're hoping to be campers eventually...but we aren't there yet).

I remember watching one of the "Extreme Home Makeovers" about the Father and Son who participated in the knights and chivalry camping. How awesome to find out this is the group and that it is Catholic!!! I'll definitely have to post to our BK group to see if anyone wants to go in the Fall.

Believe it or not, there have been men who have travelled here from further away. I think your husband will find that it's definitely worth it.

I'm very bad about posting IN ADVANCE of the encampment as the summer one is going on TODAY . At least your husbands & sons can listen to the opening homily.

Next encampment is in October but the date is not set yet.
