Within the cycle of a year, the Church unfolds the whole of the mystery of Christ. In celebration this cycle, the Church honours with special love, Mary, the Mother of God. The month of May is dedicated to Mary.

This month we are encouraging staff and students to begin their day by praying to our Lady:

Ki te ingoa o te Matua,o te Tamaiti, o te Wairua Tapu. Amene.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Awe Maria e ki ana koe, e te keretia, kia koe e te Ariki, kia whakapainga koe.

I roto i nga wahine ae whakapainga hoki. A Hehu te hua o tou kopu.

Hata Maria te Matua wahine o te Atua inoi koe mo matou mo te hunga

e hara ana aianei a te hoara o toku matenga rawa.

Amene.
