Rooted In Faith. Achieving Excellence. Serving Others.

Week 1: Hope

During this first week of Advent, we will focus on the significance of this special season in the Church and why the experience of waiting, hope, and preparation are still so important in our lives today.

A Prayer For the First Week Of Advent

Heavenly Father, as we begin this Advent, give light to our eyes and peace to our hearts. May the Lord find us watching and waiting in joy when He comes. We pray in Jesus' name. Amen.

December 8th is The Feast of the Immaculate Conception

O most Holy Virgin, immaculate in body

and spirit, look kindly on me as I implore

your powerful intercession.

O most Holy Mother, receive my prayers

as I present them to God.

(state your intentions here)

O Mary, Mother of Jesus and our Mother,

you intercede for us with your Son.

O Mary conceived without sin,

pray for us who have recourse to thee.

Amen.

Initiative: “to do something because it needs to be done.”

Don't rely on others- take the first step - without reminders from your parents or teachers. Show others that you can take charge and when you see that something needs to be done - be sure to follow through! Have a great week!
