Strength and Kindliness

Sharing the Faith

At St Augustine's, we believe that parents are by word and example, the first teachers of faith that their children hear. It is important that within families, parents and caregivers encourage shared expressions of faith that can help young people gradually, to mature in their own faith. 

In addition to our Religious Education curriculum, our children experience Daily Prayer during TA time each morning. Each classroom has a prayer focus space to centre the prayer. We offer the following resource to our parents and caregivers as a starting point for conversation based on this Sunday's Gospel reading.

St Augustine’s College Prayer

God of life, 

Created in your image,

We follow in the footsteps of your Son, Jesus.

We seek to know, love and serve you

as St Augustine and St Brigid did.

Jesus, our friend, inspire in each of us

an openness to being your missionary disciples.

Be with our College community as we

seek wisdom, pray for peace and work for justice.

Holy Spirit, guide us, to live with hope and courage

and to celebrate the gift of life with joy and gratitude.

We pray for the strength:     To embody kindliness
