Prayer Intentions

→ For the New Year, under the care of Mary, Mother of God: As we begin this new year on the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, may our students entrust their hearts, hopes, and efforts to her loving intercession. Help them welcome this fresh beginning with faith, gratitude, and trust in God’s providence. May Mary guide them to grow in wisdom, courage, and generosity, shaping their days with prayerful intention and joy. Holy Spirit, lead our students to walk confidently into the year ahead, ready to love and serve God and neighbor with open hearts.
