St Roch's Parish Primary School 
A prayer for ''Remembrance Day'
God of peace and compassion,
We remember all those who have laid down their lives in the service of their country.
We hold in our hearts their courage, their dedication, and their ultimate sacrifice.
We ask for your tender care for those who carry the burden of grief.
Comfort their families, strengthen those who continue to serve,
and surround them all with your healing love.
Help us to be peacemakers in our classrooms, on the playground, and in our homes.
Teach us to choose understanding over conflict and kindness over anger.
May our school reflect your light, to walk together with open hearts in pursuit of lasting peace in our world.
Amen.
October - The Month of Mary: Whole School Rosary
Thank you to all families who joined us at our Whole School Rosary. This traditional way of honouring Mary, the Mother of Jesus, provided an oppourtuntiy to reflect on our connection to Mary and how she lived a life that is a model for us all. A special thank you to our Year 6 leaders for supporting this special time of prayer.
