Prayer as our young parishioners begin their Summer Holidays from school

We thank you, Lord for all that was good during the past school year.

We ask you to continue to take care of all children during the summer holidays,

Keep them safe from harm,

protect them from danger.

Help them to enjoy the long hours of sunlight and to be glad of the company of family and friends.

We pray for all in our school communities.

May they have a happy summer.

And when September comes around,

may they be glad to meet each other again.
