School Prayers

School Prayers

At St. Michael's Catholic Primary School, the children are taught traditional Catholic prayers. These prayers can be used at home to support parents in developing their children's knowledge of prayer and to continue to develop their children's understanding of what the words mean to us as Christians today.

Hail Mary, full of grace,

Our Father

Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.

Eternal rest give unto them, O Lord,

and let perpetual light shine upon them.

May they rest in peace.
