Prayer

Father,  Thank you for all those men and women who have given their talents to educating our young people.  Through the challenges they encounter each day, lead them to an even deeper appreciation of the sacred duty to which you have called them.

We give thanks for the invaluable work of all those who contribute to the efficient running of schools; support staff, administration staff and maintenance. We thank them for their hard work and dedication and we pray that they may continue to work to support our schools. 

Thank you for all those who lead and teach in  our Catholic schools.

May they be people of integrity so that they can be witnesses as well as teachers. We pray that the schools where they work will become places where young people can experience your love in their lives

Thank you for our Catholic schools.

Help us to pray without ceasing, to work without wavering and give without grudging in order to ensure the future of Catholic education for all children. 

We make this prayer through your Son, Jesus Christ, our teacher and our Lord.

Amen.
