Catholic Education Week Prayer
Gracious and generous God, creator of the earth, our common home,
With each new day, we prepare the earth of our lives by sowing seeds of gratitude for all you have given. Inspire us to cultivate relationships with all living beings. May we harvest new fruit and marvel in the wonder at the beauty around us. Nurture us in hope.
Amen. +
Dieu très bon, créateur de la terre, notre maison commune,
Chaque jour nous préparons le terreau de nos vies en y semant la gratitude pour tout ce que tu nous donnes. Inspire-nous à cultiver des relations avec tous les êtres vivants. Que nous puissions récolter des fruits nouveaux qui nous permettent de nous émerveiller face à la beauté qui nous entoure. À toi qui cultives l’espérance et nous fais grandir, louange et gloire pour les siècles des siècles.
Amen. +
During the week of May 5-10, 2019, local Catholic District School Boards within the Diocese of London celebrated the significant contribution that Catholic Education has made to the community, the province and to Canada. Catholic Graduate Expectations challenge students to articulate in society those fundamental values that underpin Catholic education.
