Prayer 

God of new beginnings, new ideas, new creations and new hopes,

We come to you at the beginning of this year with many feelings, expectations, hopes and dreams.

Help us to recognise that we are given NEW opportunities to hope, to create, to think and to begin again each and every day like St. Mel & St. Patrick.

Help us to accept these opportunities as ways for us to grow as an individual, as a student and a learner, as a friend, as a community member, as a follower of Jesus.

This we ask through Christ our Lord,

AMEN.

 

Keep In your Prayers and Thoughts...

 

To any of our students, families, staff and school community who may be grieving the loss of a loved one.

 

To all our students and families who are currently unwell.

 

All our families, we pray to keep them safe and healthy as we commence this school year

 

Our teachers as they guide our learners in the Learning Suites

 

"And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith." Matthew 21:22

 

 

St Mel’s Parish Prayer

 

God our Father,

Bless our Parish so that we may love you more. Encircle our families with your loving care.  Help parents to be good examples to their children and our youth to grow in strength as good Christians. 

To the sick, grant health. 

To the aged, bring serenity and to those in sorrow, joy.

May we grow stronger in faith and may our love for one another become

 deeper in our daily living. 

Amen
