The Saint Mary School Community
God our Father,
Your Holy Spirit binds us all in love.
We see your Spirit at work in our world,
Breathing your gifts into all who belong
to you-
Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge,
Counsel,
Strength, Wonder, and Reverence.
Please give us these gifts, too!
We ask this through Jesus Christ our
Lord.
Amen

nicely with Catholic Social Teaching.
