Living Our Faith

I praise You because
I am fearfully and wonderfully made *

To be formed by Christ’s love through God’s Word, the Sacraments,

and the Catholic Community.

To listen, speak, read and write in ways
that show the Gospel values.

To think prayerfully and
make decisions for the common good.

To live a balanced life,

using my gifts confidently, my time wisely
and my energy purposefully.

To become the unique person God has created
me to be, to work well with others and
positively contribute to society.

To love my family members

and nurture respectful relationships.

To celebrate the sacredness of life

and create a just, peaceful and compassionate world.

*Psalm 139:14a

Board Mission Prayer

LOVING GOD
Thank You for calling us to share in Your work
through the gift of Catholic Education.
As we walk together in Christ’s light
with our families and parishes,
strengthen us as we strive to embrace the call of the Gospel,
and bring new life and hope to our world.
As we work to build inclusive and safe Catholic learning communities,
may we be witnesses to Your love and inspire excellence.

God of All,
Help us serve our young people as we live our faith.
May they grow in their love of learning and love of You.
May they be blessed with courage and perseverance.
Help them to find their true identity in You and
empower them to be good stewards,
building a world of reverence, peace, justice and joy.

We ask this through Jesus,
the One who teaches us how to live and serve.
Amen

These posters are in every classroom in our system to help teach about the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy.

They are a beautiful part of our tradition and they give everyday examples of how to live faith.
Congratulations to Georgia, Emma, Sienna, Tracy and Jake.
Thanks to everyone who submitted a poster for giving glory to God by sharing your talents.
