Our Parish
Our School Prayer Dear God, As we begin this day bless all in Powerscourt School we pray. Bless all the classrooms and the halls and every soul between its walls. Bless all our teachers and our friends, with peace and joy that never ends. And on this day in all we do please help us know we walk with you. Amen
Revd. Cathy Hallissey.
