Archdiocesan Primary Deputes' Conference
Virtues in our Catholic Schools
Friday 19th May 2023

Archdiocesan Deputes’ Prayer
Lord God, your spirit of wisdom fills the earth and teaches us in your
ways.
Look upon us in our vocation as Catholic school leaders.
Let us strive to share our knowledge with gentle patience and
endeavour always to bring the truth to eager minds.
May we never forget that it is both a privilege and a responsibility to
play a part in the education of the young and may we always support
one another in that process.
Grant that we may follow Jesus Christ, the way, the truth and the life,
forever and ever.
Amen
St. Mungo, pray for us.

Question 1: Take a few moments to reflect on your own school education. In what
ways did you experience the virtues of faith, hope and love.
ARCHDIOCESAN PRIMARY DEPUTES’ ASSOCIATION 4

Question 2: “I plead with you--never, ever give up on hope, never doubt, never tire, and
never become discouraged. Be not afraid.” Pope Saint John Paul II.
How does your school culture support you, your families and staff to find hope
during times of challenge?

Recessional Hymn
As I kneel before You
As I bow my head in prayer
Take this day, make it Yours
And fill me with Your love
Ave Maria
Gratia plena
Dominus tecum
Benedicta tu
All I have, I give You
Every dream and wish are Yours
Mother of Christ
Mother of mine, present them to my Lord
