While not a comprehensive collection, the following will provide students of all ages with a page of prayers for those who practice the faith of the Roman Catholic Church. I challenge your family to learn a new prayer every week. You can start with the prayers listed on this page, or visit the Prayers and Resources page on the Archdiocese website. 

Our Family Prayer:

Loving and faithful God, through the years the people of our archdiocese have appreciated the prayers and love of Our Lady of Prompt Succor in times of war, disaster, epidemic and illness. We come to you, Father, with Mary our Mother, and ask you to help us in the battle of today against violence, murder and racism.
 
We implore you to give us your wisdom that we may build a community founded on the values of Jesus, which gives respect to the life and dignity of all people.
 
Bless parents that they may form their children in faith. Bless and protect our youth that they may be peacemakers of our time. Give consolation to those who have lost loved ones through violence.
 
Hear our prayer and give us the perseverance to be a voice for life and human dignity in our community.
 
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Our Lady of Prompt Succor, hasten to help us. Mother Henriette Delille, pray for us that we may be a holy family.

 

Prayer For Vocations

God of Love, You call us to live in your love through the grace of our baptism.

Bless us with the courage to carry out the mission of Jesus.
Grant to us open and generous hearts to see the needs of others and to respond with compassion.

May the Church be blest with women and men who are dedicated to you through marriage, the single life, the diaconate. Priesthood, and the consecrated life.

It is in Christ and through Christ that we offer ourselves to you now and forever. Amen.
 

Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel

St. Michael the Archangel, 
defend us in battle. 
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. 
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, 
and do thou, 
O Prince of the heavenly hosts, 
by the power of God, 
thrust into hell Satan, 
and all the evil spirits, 
who prowl about the world 
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
