Thank you for helping us to fulfill our mission of providing a Catholic education for all children.
Father, you have made these children as varied as the flowers of a garden. You have blessed each one uniquely. Each growing child is infinitely precious in your sight. You have trusted us to nuture them. Help us to remember that each child is filled with curiosity, an open heart, and a zest for life.
Dear God, your love and care strengthen us always. Help us to seek you with childlike faith andrespond to your call by seeing your face in everyone we meet. May this year be wholesome and productive, where questions are raised and answered, knowledge grows, and prayers are heartfelt and free. We ask this in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ, whose example is our model for life.
Amen.
