Welcome Community Hospitality
Feast of St Clare of Montefalco - Monday, 17th August
Yesterday, our school community celebrated a special Prayer and Blessing ceremony in the Montefalco at 9am with Fr. Hilary presiding. It was a beautiful occasion with students engaging in the processions, prayers and singing. A video of the event has been uploaded to our school facebook page with a special thanks to Mrs Andrews for helping organise the celebration in Mrs Kennedy’s absence. Later in the day, classes gathered together to participate in further activities to celebrate the Feast Day. The St. Clare’s School Prayer below is a prayer which has been shared with all classes and prayed with everyone present yesterday. It symbolises the charism of our beautiful school:
St. Clare’s School Prayer
God our creator,
We give praise and thanks for –
our families, our school
and parish community
and the beauty of our world.
Help us to continue to learn,
grow and pray as we spread
the flame of faith just as St Clare did.
Let us show Welcome, Community and Hospitality
to all who enter our school.
Show us how to make St Clare’s a happy place,
where learning is important,
and living the way that Jesus taught us
is what really counts.
We ask this prayer through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
