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.

They have had such trouble finding a spiritual home; they thought they'd found one (an hour away), but the youth programs at this parish changed and this family has eight daughters, five of whom are old enough for youth activities/music groups. There are no Catholic churches closer than a 1 1/2 hour drive each way, and so they've started going to a local Christian church.    The parish in town (still 45 min. from them) has been hostile, first because of their large family size and the unusual (but Church-blessed) circumstances of the parents' marriage, and now because they left the parish to find better youth programs for their girls. They went to Easter Vigil at the town parish and no one would talk to them.

I don't even know what to ask you to pray for - probably first that their faith not waver, and second that they find a different and better solution to this dilemma.

Thanks!
