Eternal Father, strong to save, / Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who bidd’st the mighty ocean deep / Its own appointed limits keep,
O hear us when we cry to Thee / For those in peril on the sea!
Eternal Father, grant, we pray, / To all Marines, both night and day,
The courage, honor, strength, and skill / Their land to serve, Thy law fulfill;
Be Thou the shield forevermore / From every peril to the Corps. Amen.

Most Holy Trinity
Those who “remain” in God's Son have the indwelling light of the Holy Spirit to guide them to all
truth (John 15:9; 16:13). We believe in One God revealed in three divine Persons—Father, Son, and
Spirit—the creative, the redemptive, and the sanctifying love of God. The Trinity is a mystery
about inter-personal communion and relationship. The Son is obedient to the Father; the Father
begets the Son; the Father and the Son send the Spirit; the Spirit takes from what is the Son’s and
presents it to us (John 16:15). Paul concluded his letter to the Corinthians, "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the
love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you" (2 Cor 13:13).
“FOCUS” at the Naval Academy
For the past eight years, with the approval of the Naval Academy and the Catholic Chaplains,
the Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS) has assigned four missionaries
(two women and two men) to work with the Catholic Midshipmen and to strengthen them in
their faith. The FOCUS missionaries are recent college graduates trained in apologetics,
evangelization, catechesis, and leadership. They carry out their ministry to our Midshipmen through prayer,
discipleship, small group bible studies, and support of all aspects of the Catholic program—especially the Catholic
Midshipman Club. As full-time missionaries, they do their own fundraising to support their work with the
midshipmen. Visit www.focus.org to donate to our USNA FOCUS missionaries.
Welcome Families and Friends
of our Graduating Midshipmen
as They Receive Their Commissions
as U.S. Navy and Marine Corps Officers.
