Back to School

Dear Parishioners,

As students return for another year, I ask that you pray for them that this year will be a time of grace and growth for them. As they move forward in life’s journey, may God be with them to lead and guide them along good and right paths.

We wish all students returning to school or beginning for the first time, good luck and God’s Blessings. We promise you our prayers and support. We pray in a special way for all the students from Saints Peter and Paul Parish, no matter what school or what level you are in. You are our hope for the future.

Pray also for all school administration, teachers, staff and volunteers. May God bless them with wisdom, grace and faith. May they know the importance of their calling and God’s presence with them.

We welcome in a special way, all those students and faculty returning to Saints Peter and Paul School. We pray that your presence among us will be a blessing for you and all of us.

May Jesus, the Master Teacher, be our guide as we begin another school year. I offer my prayers for all students and ask our parishioners especially parents, to pray for our children and young people as they embark on another phase of life.

God bless us all!

Fr. Citino

 

A Prayer for Teachers, Parents and Administrators
Fr. Satish Joseph

All Holy, Loving and Compassionate God, we thank you for your loving care of all creation and

your protection and guidance over all. We come to you today, with all the faith and trust

we can muster. Please come to our aid.

We bring administrators, principals, professors, teachers, school secretaries, the support staff,

and the maintenance staff of our schools and universities before you. In their vocation as

educators, they continue the teaching ministry of Christ. We pray for your blessings

over their lives, their work, their livelihood, and their families.

We bring our parents, guardians, and care givers of our students before you. They are faced

with unprecedented challenges. They have to make decisions that require your wisdom,

understanding and insight. When they feel overwhelmed, be present in their lives. May they never

feel alone or abandoned. Strengthen them from within, so they might be a source of

strength, confidence, and hope for their children.

Most of all, we bring before you our students. As they pursue their education, enlighten their minds.

May they grow in grace and wisdom. In areas where there is a lack, provide them knowledge,

understanding, counsel, and fortitude. Keep them safe and protect them from all harm.

We ask all these things, through the intercession of our Blessed Mother Mary,

and through Christ our teacher.

                      Amen.
