OAPCE-Ontario Association of Parents in Catholic Education

Parents as Leaders of Hope

Loving God,
We thank You for the gift of our children and for the sacred calling You have entrusted to us as parents.
Fill our hearts with hope, patience, and courage as we guide them in their learning and in their faith.

Help us to lead by example—
to speak words that encourage,
to choose actions rooted in love,
and to nurture curiosity, compassion, and resilience in our homes.

When challenges arise, remind us that we are never alone.
Strengthen our partnership with teachers, schools, and communities,
so together we may reflect Christ’s light and truth in Catholic education.

May our children see in us a living sign of hope—
hope that believes in their God-given potential
and trusts in Your constant presence on their journey.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
