PRAYER AT ST. JOHN VIANNEY

DAILY PRAYER

Prayer holds significant importance in our school. It fosters a deep connection to the Catholic faith and nurtures the spiritual, emotional, and moral development of our children. 

Morning Prayer

O my God, Iove you
You're with me night and day
I want to love You always
In all I do and say
I'll try to please you Father
Bless me through this day
Amen

Prayer Before Lunch

Bless us O God 
as we sit together
Bless the food we eat today
Bless the hands that made the food
Bless us O God
Amen

End of Day Prayer

O my God I come to say
Thank you for Your love today
Thank you for my family
And all the friends you give to me
Guard me in the dark of night
And I the morning send your light
Amen

our marian prayer space

We have developed, with the help of our wonderful parent community, a beautiful outdoor prayer and refelction area, devoted to Our Lady. During the months devoted to Mary, the children can use this area to pray the Rosary and all year round, it is a wonderful visual reminder, in our busy playground, that the children can always pray to Our Lady for help with important things in their life.

 

 

DEVELOPING PRAYER AND SPIRITUALITY

At St. John Vianney, we ensure that there are frequent and varied opportunities for prayer and reflection. During Spirituality Week, the children are responsible for organising, designing and carrying out their own opportunities for worship and developing their relationship with God. 

     
COLLECTIVE WORSHIP

The children enjoy the opportunity to design and carry out their own acts of worship each week. The responsibility sllows them to personalise their prayers and helps them understand the structure: gather, word, reflect and mission. Sometimes parents join them as well!
