Friday, September 2nd

 DAY 2

MORNING PRAYER

Each year, our school division picks a new spiritual theme. This year, our new spiritual theme will be centered around a year of celebration. As the oldest Catholic School in the province, we celebrate 135 years of sharing faith in Jesus Christ. Sharing faith is something we have in common with the schools in our past, our present-day schools, and our future schools. Sharing our Faith means that we focus on the foundation of our faith, which is sharing the hope and love of Jesus Christ. 

Loving God,

Please go before us as we embark on a new and exciting school year.

Bless the work you ask us to do this year at schools, and at home.

Help us to remember to greet each person we meet

with dignity and love, as we share faith.

We ask this through Christ, Our Lord.

Amen
