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.

I just found a great bargain! I have several young boys that wanted me to make priest's vestments for them for Christmas. It was going to be cost prohibitive though unfortunately, until I had a brain flash! I was at JoAnns and the Christmas table clothes were 80% off! They had solid red, green and gold brocade! The table clothes measured 60 inches by 104 and were only $3.50. I was able to cut 4 vestment from each. Then gold ribbon was $0.25 a roll for the edges and embellishments.

Yeah I love a bargain!

LeeAnn, what a beautiful idea! Your priest vestments are sure to be a hit! You can often find beautiful brocade, silk and other suitable fabrics in linen sections of thrift stores or Goodwill. Draperies and curtains tend to yield large sections of fabric for a project like the one you described!
