Remember to Pray

Grizzlies Pray every morning and afternoon and many times during the school day! Here are our Arrival and Dismissal Prayers: 

St. Gabriel School Morning Prayer
St. Gabriel the Archangel,
You are God’s special messenger.
Help us to be God’s special messengers too. May all that we think, say, and do be a way  of sharing God’s Love with others.
St. Gabriel, the Archangel, pray for us.
 In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
 
St. Gabriel School Afternoon Prayer
Oh Heavenly Father,
We thank you for our food today
And we remember the hungry.
 We thank you for our health,
And we remember the sick.
 We thank you for our friends
And we remember the lonely.
 May these remembrances stir us to service.
 St. Gabriel the Archangel,
Keep us safe as we travel home.
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen
