Prayer to Our Lady of Sorrows

Holy Mary, Mother of God and Queen of Martyrs, I do this day choose you as my model, protectress, and advocate. Receive me as your special servant, as a partaker in your sufferings. Give me strength always to remain close to Jesus your Son who died on the cross for me. Accept every good work that I may perform and offer it to your Son for me. Dear Mother, stand by me in all my actions, that they may be directed to the glory of God. Amen.

Your dues help fund the "extras" that make school special - like the Homecoming Dance, Teacher Appreciation Week, student treats, and much more! Please also consider donating to our teach/staff funds now to avoid the holiday and year-end rush.

Attention Parents: We invite you to attend an important event sponsored by MADD called the Power of Parents, on Wednesday October 8 at 6:00 pm in the FAC.
