PRAYER: Honor Code Signing

Katie Botha • September 2, 2022

Prayer by Mrs. Slifka, IB MYP Individuals & Societies Religion Teacher

“Help us to love you more through actions of honor.”

Lord, I ask You to bless us with wisdom, love, and understanding for each other and give us hearts that continue to love each other and open up our minds to accepting what You want for us.

I Pray that we may increase our trust in God’s goodness and mercy. May we honor each other this year in what and how we speak to each other, as much as what we choose not to say to each other. Help us hold comments that are not loving or good.

We ask Saint Therese of Lisieux to help us pray. She said that she would spend her time in heaven doing good on earth. Please pray for us that God might help us spread goodness throughout our school.

Saint Therese, Pray for us that we, like you, may have great confidence in the loving promises of our God. Pray that we may live our lives in union with God’s plan for us, and one day see the Face of God.

Saint Therese, you were faithful to God even unto the moment of your death. Pray for us that we may be faithful to our loving God. May our lives bring peace and love to the world through faithful endurance in love for God our savior.

Loving God, you blessed St. Therese with a capacity for great love. Help us to believe in your unconditional love for each of your children. Help us share that love with each other.

I love you, Lord. Help us to love you more through actions of honor. Honor for our teachers, our parents, each other, and even ourselves!

Glory be to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.

Amen.

Election Day Resources & Reminders

By Katie Botha • October 31, 2024

Faithful Citizenship Resources In anticipation of Election Day on November 5, the Virginia Catholic Conference has prepared voter education resources to help Catholics confidently vote with an informed conscience. Those resources can be found on the Catholic Diocese of Richmond's website . School Day Reminders This year, Election Day is a regular school day with a regular bell schedule at Saint Mary's Catholic School. In prior years, it has coincided with Parent-Teacher Conferences resulting in a day-off for students; however, that is not the case this school year. Many of our students across all grade levels are aware of the importance of Election Day. We anticipate the days leading up to Election Day and those following it will provide topics of conversation that students may choose to engage in both inside and outside the classroom. If necessary, our teachers may offer age-appropriate explanations of the day's events and results. As family members, we encourage you to guide your children as they navigate their thoughts and feelings over the coming weeks and months.
