O Christ, our Teacher,
You invite Your faithful people to make disciples in Your name and to announce good
news to the poor. We thank You for the gift of Catholic schools, where:
The message of Your life, death, and resurrection is proclaimed,
Christian community is experienced,
Service to our brothers and sisters is modeled,
And worship of You is cultivated.
Increase our zeal for ensuring that all children and families can benefit from a high quality Catholic education, and that Catholic schools grow in their ability to nurture the soul of our nation.
We ask this through the intercession of:
- St Gabriel the Archangel
- Father Nouvel
- Our Lady of Lake Huron
- The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus
- St Brigid of Kildare
- St Mary
- St Elizabeth of Hungary
- St Joseph the Worker
- St Michael
Amen.
