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.

This past Saturday we went to this program at the National Cathedral in DC. It is a drop in program every Sat from 10-2. The kiddos were able to try their had at stone carving, made a gargoyle from model magic, mosaics, rubbings and building arches with blocks. The cost is $5 for a family of four, one dollar for each additional person.
It was neat to walk around the Cathedral and find the arches, stained glass and mosaics. Also just walking down to the basement was kinda cool.
They have a fabulous gift shop.
So if a trip to DC is in your future this is a fun way to spend a few hours.

Well, I was doing a search and happened upon this. Thanks Mary Chris for reminding me of this! We haven't been for about 5 years and I had forgotten all about it.

Definitely worth a trip!
