A Prayer for Catholic Schools Week
Heavenly Father, this Catholic Schools Week we ask You to renew us in our pursuit of Faith, Excellence, and Service. Pour Your Holy Spirit into our hearts so that through Your Word and the Sacraments, as well as our studies and activities, our life-giving Catholic Faith is strengthened. With knowledge and humility, may we pursue Excellence in academics, athletics, the arts, and leadership. Guide us as we face the challenges before us, and imbue our hearts with a desire for Service.
By Your grace, may our words and actions reflect our commitment to being intentional disciples for Christ here at Charlotte Catholic High School and out in the world
Our Lady of Mercy and St. Joseph pray for us.
