At the beginning of a new school year, we offer our thanks and praise for the gift of new beginnings and for the opportunity to learn and to wonder. As a community of love and faith in Christ Jesus, we dedicate this school year into your hands that it may be rewarding for students, teachers, faculty, staff, parents, and guardians. Bless all our students as they face the challenge of new tasks, the fear of failure, the expectations of parents, friends, and self. Bless us all parents and guardians, students and teachers to grow in service to others and in love for your world, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 1
