A Prayer For The New Year
O God of new beginnings and wonderful surprises, thank you for the gift of a
new year.
905-857-4241 press 1
May it be a time of grace, a time to grow in faith and love,
a time to renew our commitment to following Your Son, Jesus.
May it be a year of blessings, a time to cherish family and friends, a time to
renew efforts at school and work, a time to embrace our faith more fully.
Walk with us, please, in every day and every hour of this new year, that the
light of Christ might shine through us, in spite of weaknesses and failings.
Above all, may we remember this year that we are a pilgrim on the sacred
path to You.
Amen
Dear Parents/Guardians:
Welcome to another New Year. We
hope that everyone in the Pope
John Paul II School community was
able to rest and re-energize during
the holiday season. It is our prayer
that this year will be blessed with
good health and happiness for
everyone.
As this first term comes to a close,
we ask that you continue to
encourage your children to work
hard. As always, your support in
maintaining
a
collaborative
relationship between home and
school is much appreciated.
Sincerely,
G. Consitt
