Prayer for the School Year
Father,
We thank you for the opportunity
to learn during the 2009-2010 school year,
and we ask that you bless
the faculty, the students, and families.
We pray that you will guide us in all ways,
and that we will seek your will
in everything that we do.
We ask this in the name of Jesus.
Amen
Sacred Heart School
