‘Official’ Prayer for Holy Family Academy VZC

Gracious Father, as you poured out your Holy Spirit upon the Apostles of your Son, send the same Spirit of wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and courage upon everyone dedicated in seeking and sharing the truth through the Holy Family Academy of Van Zandt County.

As the Apostles went out into the world teaching the Word of God, so may the Holy Family Academy community teach faith, hope, and love by guiding our children in the Divine Will of God.

May the Wisdom of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit be with the Academy through prayer, volunteers, and financial support. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen

       “Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray always and not to lose heart.”
