YEAR ENDEUCHARISTIC CELEBRATION

MAY 4, 2023

INTRODUCTION:

As we look back on our journey and experiences we were filled with people and events
that led us to encounter God and accept His word. Some may be insignificant, depressing
and painful but there were also victories, jpys and triumps because they taught us lessons
that helped us become better. Like our Blessed Mother each of us has been blessed in
different ways and for that we are grateful for the fact that God created us to be in
connection to one enother leading us to share in each other’s load and burden. For all
that we have received we cannot but thank you Lord.

As we gather in prayer today in this Eucharistic Celebration we lift up before God’s altar in
humble gratitude all that He has given us through out this School year…for the love and
care, protection and guidence, meaningful experiences and wonderful persons that have
light our way and have been our companions in our life’s journey.
Let us also include in our prayer the intention of Sr. Guia who is celebrating her birthday
today.

Please all stand and let us welcome our mass presider Fr. _____________________, SDB
