JUNE 14 IS FLAG DAY Dear Lord, We come before You with gratitude for the symbolism our flag represents—unity, freedom, and hope. May it remind us of the sacrifices made for our liberties and inspire us to uphold justice and peace. Bless our nation as we strive to embody the values it stands for, fostering love and understanding among all people. Amen.

This usually begins in First grade, but any grade level is welcome to prepare for First Communion.
