Welcome to our Prayer Corner

We teach our students that we need to pray each day, reflecting on the blessings and graces God sends us.  We must do this so when hard and difficult days come they will remember and know they can turn to God for grace, consolation and peace.

Let us bring our hopes and needs to Jesus, as we pray for;

Catherine Brady - Mother to Diane Swenson
              
  Matt Carolan father to - Kevin, Connor, Emma & Hope;

               Jack Natale's Grandmother - Joan Baney 
 Stephanie Segal - Grandmother to the DiPietrantonio children
Larry Manganello, uncle to Christians & Lily Fischer

Kaitlyn Iwasiuk's great-grandmother

Ms Costello during her shoulder surgery recovery
and for the repose of the soul of;


We pray that God comforts all those who were affected by the recent explosions in Boston.  We pray especially for those who died or were seriously injured.
