Bonnie Ellison Elementary School Dedication

Invocation by Rev. Msgr. Conor McGrath

 
Lord God, bless the members of this school community as they mark the opening of this school.
 
Bless the principal, the vice principal, the administrators, the teachers and all the staff who have made education the mission of their lives.
 
Bless the parents who are the primary educators of their children. May they find in this school a true partner in their mission as parents.
 
And, bless the children, Lord, who will come here. May they find in this school a home away from home:
a place they where they are loved and cared for;
a place where they grow and blossom;
and, a place where they learn of the good things in life and the best ways to live.
 
May this school be a nourishing place for their talents: a banquet hall for their minds, and a source of inspiration and wisdom in their lives.
 
As children, may they enjoy their days in this school making good friends and creating good memories, leaving here as good citizens and caring people and well-prepared to take their next big steps in life.
 
May this school be a true blessing to all.                                               
Amen
