Welcome to the 2020 School Year

As we begin this new school year let us pray that all the members of our community will be happy, safe and enjoy good health.

 

A Prayer at the Beginning of  the School Year

 

We give you praise, O God, for everything that is new and beautiful,

for everything which holds promise and brings us joy.

Bless us as we start this new year with our friends and teachers.

Help us to make the most of every chance we have to start afresh.

May we show love to one another and to all.

May the new beginning of this school year remind us

that you give us chances to start over again and again.

Help us to forgive others as we receive your forgiveness.

Help us to learn and to work together.

Help us to listen when we should

and to know the best words when we speak

and when it is better not to speak.

We thank you for our friends.

Help us to be good friends this year.

Help us to be patient with ourselves and with others.

Bless our school and keep us safe.

Be with us as we travel each day.

Help us to be aware of your love shown to us in the people around us.

Bless all those who care for us In school and at home.

Help us show our care for them and to say sorry when we need to.

May the Blessed Mother Mary protect us

And help us to live as well as we can

Giving thanks and glory to God as she did.
