A Prayer for the Graduating Class of 2022

Loving God,

Bless the St Bede’s College Graduating Class of 2022.

Inspire and guide these graduates as they reach this end,

and as they chart new beginnings.

As men of faith, service and community

may they remember all that they have learned

during their many years of schooling

for these teachings will enrich their life and the lives of others.

May they always act with honesty, compassion and kindness.

May they love with fidelity;

May they serve others,

especially the poor, the marginalized, and those who suffer;

and to always seek the greater good.

Surround them with love and grant them confidence

about their future because you are always present to them.

And, may God bless you in the name of the Father,

and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Remembrance Month 

St Bede’s College Perpetual Memorial Book

In a very special way, the month of November is dedicated to the memory of our deceased family members and friends, and all who have gone before us.  

Beginning with All Saints Day and All Souls Day, and continuing throughout the month, we hold in prayer those who have died.

To mark the special way that the Catholic tradition responds to death, St Bede’s College has a Perpetual Memorial Book that is kept in the Mentone Campus Chapel as an invitation to others to join you in praying for your deceased relatives and friends.  

Please forward the name/s of any family member or friend that you would like to have added to the book to Ria Greene at  rgg@stbedes.catholic.edu.au  . These names will be especially prayed for throughout the month of November.

* Please note - if you have previously added names, there is no need to submit them again as it is a Perpetual Book
