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.

We are so excited - we are going to Loreto, Pennsylvania for our first ordination in May - a wonderful deacon who has been working in our parish. We may stay over and go to his first mass too.

I would love some ideas on how to prepare the kids (we have the Victor picture book)

Also any ideas on ordination gifts?

Oh, I was a teenager when I went to my uncle's ordination and I remember it so well. It was lovely. Perhaps you could expain the fact the sacramament of the Eucharist is combined with the sacrament of holy orders in this mass so it is little different from the masses we normally attend, much the way a wedding is different. Giving them an idea of what's happening as well as the roles of the people present would be nice, but (I'm saying this because I now my tendency to teach everything to death ) also leave plenty of room for them to just experience its loveliness themselves.
