Catholic Identity

A prayer to share:

Loving Creator,

We thank You for the gift of learning, friendship, and the diverse voices that make our school a vibrant place.

Fill our classrooms, hallways, and playgrounds with understanding, respect, and compassion.

Help us listen with open hearts, speak with kindness, and act with fairness.

Protect our students, teachers, and families from harm, and guide us toward harmony in all we do.

May peace be the foundation of our community and may love be the language we share each day.

Amen.
