Helena in Year 6 was one of 5 winners of the Salford Diocese vocations prayer competition!
Helena had to write a prayer for all Bishops and her prayer was chosen out of all the local Catholic primary schools who entered the competition in our Deanery – St John Southworth. In fact, Bishop Arnold, chose her prayer himself! Helena, Madeleine and their families were very fortunate to be invited to the Bishop’s House, Wardley Hall, for lunch and for the formal presentation of certificates.
HELENA’S PRAYER
Father in Heaven,
Please can you help all the bishops to make the right decisions and use the knowledge of God in what they say and do. To be brave in meetings, to make the people of their dioceses happier and thankful for the life God has given them. I hope that they shepherd us all through life and care for us all.
Amen
