Our School Prayer
Dear God
St. Matthew’s is our school
May all here work and play happily together
Help us to love and grow together
May love dwell here amongst us everyday
Love of one another
Love of all people everywhere
Love of life itself
And love of God
Let us remember that as many hands build a house
So every child can make our school a beautiful place
Amen
