Our School Prayer

Compassionate St Joseph,

Please help us and guide us as we follow in your footsteps,

As we try to model our Gospel Values to all,

Help us to love, forgive and show kindness,

In our learning and in our play,

As we live and grow together everyday,

Help us to care, welcome and show compassion,

Just like you have shown us.

Amen

 
 
 
Our Father
 

Our Father, Who art in heaven,

Hallowed be Thy Name.

Thy Kingdom come.

Thy Will be done,

on earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.
Amen
 
Hail Mary
 
Hail Mary, full of grace.
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
Pray for us sinners now,
And at the hour of our death.
Amen
