God of mercy,

We thank you for the gift of Catholic education.

We walk in faith and thanks, guided by those who have gone before us, who nurtured and sustained Catholic education.

Inspired by our Catholic Graduate Expectations, we acknowledge that the promise of Catholic education is within us, that it is a promise that we live out in our families and communities and that it is a promise that we proclaim in acts of justice and compassion in word and deed.

We make this prayer that we may live out the promise of Catholic education for many more years to come.

Amen. +

Prière pour la semaine de l’éducation catholique

Dieu de miséricorde,

Nous te rendons grâce pour le don de l’éducation catholique en Ontario.

Ensemble, nous allons de l’avant inspirés par celles et ceux qui ont nourri et façonné l’éducation catholique et qui nous précèdent aujourd’hui dans la foi.

Inspirés par les attentes et espoirs envers les finissantes et finissants de nos écoles, nous te prions de nous aider à reconnaître que la promesse de l’éducation catholique se trouve en nous: une promesse vécue et célébrée dans nos familles et dans nos communautés, une promesse qui nous pousse à témoigner de la justice et de la compassion à travers nos gestes et nos paroles.

En vivant cette promesse de l’éducation catholique, puissions-nous collaborer à faire advenir ton royaume sur terre. Nous te le demandons à toi, qui continue d’être présent et agissant, Dieu au cœur de notre histoire.

Amen. +
