God of knowledge and wisdom, bless all students as they begin a new school year.
Help them to discover and develop the gifts you have given.
As they grow in knowledge, guide them to show kindness, compassion and respect for themselves and others.
We ask your blessing on parents/guardians, families and all those who care for students.
Strengthen them to surround our students with encouragement and support.
Remind us that wherever we go, you are always with us.
As we celebrate the Sacred Heart goal of intellect, fill our students with the joy of learning to make a positive difference in our world.
Amen.
