Heavenly Father, to you we offer praise, for we have been given the privilege and the

great responsibility of forming our children in the in the practice of faith. Our parish

school and faith formation program for our children are in need of new and Christ-

centered leadership. Send forth your Holy Spirit upon us as we begin our search for a

new school principal and new director of religious education. Guide us in our discern-

ment, enlighten us with your wisdom, strengthen us to be firm in our Spirit-filled convic-

tions, and bring us to a new springtime of Catholic education which will blossom forth

with a harvest of young men and women—well educated in the knowledge and love of

God. Transform our school and religious education program into schools of discipleship

which will guarantee a faith filled future for our families and for St. Anthony parish. In

Jesus; name we pray. Amen.
