Thank you, God our Father

for giving us Jesus, your Son,

to be our Good Shepherd,

and for filling us

with your Holy Spirit

to be our inspiration

and our guide.

Thank you for gathering us

together in this school

and thank you for all the gifts

you have given us.

We know that each one of us

is very important to you

and so we ask you to help us

to be a loving community,

always ready to welcome others,

 to share with them

and to care for them.

Help us always to use our gifts

to spread HAPPINESS in our school

 and in our world.

Amen.
