Thy Will Be Done
FIAT VOLUNTAS TUA
This is the theme for the 2025-2026 school year here at St. Mary's School. “Thy will be done” is a phrase from the Lord’s Prayer and signifies a complete surrender to God’s will, mirroring Mary’s response to the angel Gabriel at the Annunciation.
This phrase embodies a willingness to accept God’s plan, even when it is not fully understood or desired by the individual, and to trust in His goodness and wisdom.
Everytime we say this phrase, we are saying “Lord, Your will and not mine.” We are telling God that whatever He wills for us, we accept it. This is very difficult and hard to do as humans, so we will work to help our students understand how important it is to surrender and do God’s will not our own.

Many may not know, prayer intentions are a huge part of our lives during morning assembly at school. Everyday, before we begin the Rosary, we offer up our prayer intentions. Starting immediately, we want to make our prayer intentions bigger and better. If you would like to add a friend or loved one to our morning prayer intentions, please complete the request below:
Prayer is a very powerful thing. We have seen the power of prayer, first hand, work for many of our loved ones on our prayer intention list.
St. Mary - PRAY FOR US
