END OF THE DAY PRAYER
Lord, bless the work that I have done,
And bless the evening still to come.
Let my return a blessing be
To all who share a home with me.
Give us with food and rest and play
A fitting end to this good day.
From webs of sin grant us release,
And touch our planet with your peace.

From the desk of Donna Kruszona, Principal:
I hope you will share this or some form of prayer with your children as you gather for the evening. I fully realize that with practices, meetings, homework, etc., finding time to pray as a family can be difficult but I encourage you to make the effort – the rewards are many.
Please note the enclosed letter and forms concerning fingerprinting (Live Scan) for parent volunteers. All staff and faculty are fingerprinted when hired. The Diocese is now requiring all volunteers accompanying students off-campus to school sponsored activities (field trips, after school sports, etc.,) be Live Scanned. If you have any questions or concerns, please call me.
