School Prayer

St. Henry – Our Patron Saint

St. Henry was born in Bavaria in 973. He succeeded his father in ruling over a duchy and was later elected emperor. He was most remarkable for his work in Church reform and for fostering missionary activity. Firmly anchored upon the great eternal truths, St. Henry was sustained by daily prayer and meditation. He did not seek fame or power, only the greater glory of God. St. Henry died in 1024 and was enrolled among the saints by Pope Eugene III in 1146.

St. Henry Pray for Us

Heavenly Father, we thank you for the example you have given us in St. Henry. Help us to follow his example of deep faith, firm hope and ardent love. May we be like St. Henry, motivated by a great love for you and the Church and faithfully extend your kingdom in the world. Grant us, through his intercession, the grace we ask, for your greater honor and glory. Amen.
