Prayers

Prayer

Prayer is an essential part of our growing relationship with God. Our Catholic faith is rich in prayer and encourages a strong prayer life. One step in this journey of prayer is to learn some of the basic prayers of our faith. In our religious education program, we have students learn prayers for each grade level by Christmas. The prayer breakdown is as follows:

   Grade 1:    Sign of the Cross, Glory Be, Angel of God, Hail Mary
   Grade 2: Our Father, Act of Contrition, 10 Commandments
   Grade 3:    Apostle’s Creed, Before Meal Prayer, 7 Sacraments
   Grade 4:    Rosary Mechanics (w/Joyful Mysteries), Hail Mary, Glory Be
   Grade 5:    Hail Holy Queen, Our Father, 7 Sacraments
   Grade 6:    O My Jesus, Act of Contrition, Apostle’s Creed
   Grade 7: Hail Holy Queen, 7 Sacraments
   Grade 8:    Recite a rosary, all prayers included, with a set of mysteries of the students’ choice
   Grade 9:    St. Michael prayer, Act of Contrition
   Grade 10: Memorare

For the 2022-23 school year, students able to recite their prayers by October 5 will earn a special reward! All remaining prayer testing is due by December 14, 2022.
