In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Heavenly Father, Creator God of Hope, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the gift of our Catholic school communities. As our families and students enjoy this well-deserved break, we ask for Your protection and guidance over them. May this time of rest be a source of renewal—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Bless each family with peace and joy and strengthen the bonds of love and understanding among them. May their hearts remain open to Your presence, finding moments of grace in their daily lives and bringing them closer to You, one another and to themselves as your beloved children.

Lord, we also pray for the staff who tirelessly serve the needs of our students. Grant them rest and refreshment so that they may return to their mission with renewed energy and enthusiasm. As we look forward to the remainder the school year, may Your wisdom, hope and love continue to guide our school community, inspiring all to grow in knowledge, faith, and service. We entrust this time of rest into Your all-embracing and loving hands, asking You to watch over us and lead us closer to You in all that we do. Through Christ our Lord, Amen.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
