Lord God, protector of our school,
I am thankful for this day.
Thank you for my life and my friends.
Help everyone love and care for each
other.
Please keep us safe today and help us to
do well in school.
We thank you for what we do in every
unique way.
I know that your greatness will always
prevail and
You won’t let darkness overcome the
light.

STUDENT FAITH FORMATION
CATHOLIC CURRICULUM
Catholic schools have the unique educational
purpose of presenting a Catholic worldview
to our students. Catholic teaching is infused
throughout the content presented by teachers
in each subject area and all students work
towards the Catholic Graduate Expectations.
The integration of our Catholic faith into all
aspects of our curriculum demonstrates the
oneness of ourselves, our world and God’s
vision for us.
