Liturgy

Give us inspiration and courage to build a community of love. FCHS Prayer  Dear Lord, guide our school with a vision that is built on love; where everybody matters. A school where the benefits of life are shared and everyone can enjoy themselves; a school where tolerance and mutual respect exist a school where peace and justice go together, and justice is guided by love. Give us inspiration and courage to build a community of love. Amen.
