As students and staff return to school this week we pray God’s blessing on all who are getting ready to begin a new school year. Hopefully they are well rested and that this new year offers them lots of enriching experiences and positive opportunities.

Loving God, at the beginning of this new school year we ask you to bless us,

the students, our teachers and staff from the schools of our parish,

that together they may grow in faith, hope and love as they learn from you

and each other how to follow your Son, Jesus and how to be the best they can be.
