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.

ok, so with our "snow day" ds, dh and I planned two college visits. One to Benedictine -KS this coming jan 18th, and another to Ave Maria April 8-11. (hooray for 84.00 round trip tix!!)

dh will go with him and a group from his Catholic High School to Benedictine, and I will go with him to Ave Maria (I've never been to FL- we'll also bring ds 13, and visit homeschooling friends, yay!)

anyone have kids going to either of these schools? any suggestions for a good college visit?

Well, I'm happy to plug Seton Hall where dh is teaching. The theology department (which is at the seminary) rocks . There are definitely some institutional struggles about Catholic identity but lots of solid community to plug into. FOCUS and SPO are both on campus and the Community of St. John was doing campus ministry as well although I think they might not be on campus this year due to some visa trouble.

It's proximity to NYC is a plus for many students. If you want to come visit I have an empty futon!

BIL (dh's brother) is a Seton Hall Alum.
and your dh's "boss" Archbishop is my dh's former boss
proximity to the Community of St. John is a plus too!

so it's most certainly a consideration for Joe.
thanks for the info. we just looked at the website!
