Prayer For Our Principal
Lord our God,
in your wisdom and love you surround us
with the mysteries of the universe.
In times long past you sent us your prophets
to teach your laws and to bear witness to your undying love.
You sent us your Son to teach us by word and example
that true wisdom comes from you alone.
Send your Spirit upon these students, their families,
their new principal and their teachers
and fill them with your wisdom and blessings.
Grant that during this academic year
they may devote themselves to their studies
and share what they have learned from others.
Grant this through Christ Our Lord.
R. AMEN
Oh God, we Your children remember that
we are always in Your holy presence and rejoice
in the promise that You watch over us.
As we reflect on Christ's guidance as both Servant and Teacher,
we ask You to help direct the search and selection
for a new principal of Catholic High School.
We ask for guidance as we seek someone who
will uphold the wisdom and traditions of the Christian Brothers
and Carmelite Sisters and lead us as
we work and pray to be a community that
reflects the love justice and peace of Your kingdom.
AMEN

We pray for our school administrator's role in keeping our school campuses safe from violence, threats and bullying. May your protecting angels surround them and our schools.
We pray that our school administrators may have wisdom and discernment as they deal with discipline problems. Give them the information necessary about the special needs of individual students so they can decide the best course of action that will keep the classroom safe, orderly and stress free and at the same time help the disorderly student grow in their ability to develop appropriate behavior and coping skills. And when outside resources are needed such as psychological help or special accommodations, we pray that they may be readily available to our administrators. Amen

Bless our school administrators with wisdom, integrity, a sense of humor, patience and the physical and mental energy equal to their tasks. Bless them with strong support from parents, teachers and the community.
Enable and empower our administrators to act as encouragers for our teachers, parents and students. May they be approachable, friendly and professional as they support our teachers. Give them insights into each teacher's unique gifts, strengths and abilities so that they might engage each teacher in roles that contribute to the common good. Amen
