Act Justly, love tenderly, walk humbly with your God

A Prayer and Welcome for New Student Members of St. Anne’s

Dear Lord, please welcome and bless these new students, parents and carers to our school community. They have chosen to be a part of the family of Saint Anne’s for many reasons: to express their creativity, to be part of a strong community, to learn and make progress in a safe environment. Dear Lord, bless them with the gifts of the Holy Spirit, the gifts of wisdom, understanding, friendship and knowledge. Dear Lord, bless these new students to Saint Anne’s so that over their time with us their words may, in the words of St. Francis, sow love where there is hatred, pardon where there is injury, faith where there is doubt, hope where there is despair, light where there is darkness and joy where there is sadness. We ask this through Christ our Lord, Amen Saint Anne, Pray for us.
