Gracious and generous God, creator of the earth, our common home,

Dieu très bon, créateur de la terre, notre maison commune,
Chaque jour nous préparons le terreau de nos vies en y semant la gratitude pour tout ce que tu nous donnes. Inspire-nous à cultiver des relations avec tous les êtres vivants. Que nous puissions récolter des fruits nouveaux qui nous permettent de nous émerveiller face à la beauté qui nous entoure. À toi qui cultives l’espérance et nous fais grandir, louange et gloire pour les siècles des siècles.

During the week of May 5-10, 2019, local Catholic District School Boards within the Diocese of London celebrated the significant contribution that Catholic Education has made to the community, the province and to Canada. Catholic Graduate Expectations challenge students to articulate in society those fundamental values that underpin Catholic education.

Seigneur,
nous te rendons grâce pour notre communauté scolaire catholique qui nous permet de cheminer ensemble dans la foi. Aide-nous à nous accompagner les uns les autres dans nos apprentissages alors que nous voulons vivre en disciples joyeux de Jésus et porter la Bonne Nouvelle au monde.
