Dear Parents/Guardians,
Every year, at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, since 1931, we gather in memorial parks, community halls, workplaces, schools and homes to stand in honour of all who have fallen.
As Remembrance Day is on Saturday this year, we will honour this day at school on Friday, November 10th, 2023. The grade 8 classes will lead us in a Remembrance Day Liturgy in our gymnasium, beginning at 10:30 am. Parents and guardians are welcome to attend.
God of love and justice,
let us remember all men and women who died in defense of our country and its freedom.
Help us to honour their sacrifice through our prayers and actions for peace in our world.
Send Your Spirit to help us to let go of misunderstandings, hatred and prejudice
so that we may grow together as one family.
Guide our steps in the way of peace.
We ask this prayer through Jesus Christ,
Amen.
