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.

Here's a Washington Times article that includes an interview with Mary Ellen .... fyi, my brother/sil are in the article too (altho they actually have 10 kids, not just the 8 that are mentioned)!

Yay for big Catholic families!
