Consecration Prayer
to Our Lady:
Mother Mary,
Queen of our hearts and Queen of our school,
we consecrate Nagle Rice to you today;
all the students, teachers and staff,
management, trustees and clergy,
parents and the community to which we belong,
all who visit the school this year,
all the places we travel to,
every class, every exam, every project,
each match and each competition,
every decision we make,
every path we follow,
every joy we share, every worry we face,
every obstacle we overcome,
every success we earn.
We place our whole school in the safe refuge
of your Immaculate heart,
knowing that you carry our deepest intentions
to your Son, Jesus.
Our Lady, Mother and Queen,
pray for us.
