As we continue to reflect on ways to show compassion during this month of October, let us pray…
God of compassion,
You have created us with your love and you sent Jesus, Your son
to teach us how to pray and to live in harmony with one another.
May we always live in Your love.
Amen.

Closing Prayer
During the month of October, we continue to pray to our Blessed Mother Mary.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed are thou among women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
St. Mark, pray for us.
Wishing you a fantastic week!
Sincerely,
C. Quadrini, Principal
