A Prayer for Marian Girls, from Our Leadership
The following Prayer was written by our Leadership for our Marian Girls in honor
of Feast Day. On this special day, we honor Mary, our namesake, and celebrate the
virtues and future of Marian Girls. This prayer embodies the potential we see in
each and every Marian Girl and the reason we are here tonight.
On this Day, I declare the truth of who you are.
When God breathed His life into you, He put a crown of glory and honor on your head.
This crown represents your authority.
It represents God's blessing and favor on your life.
You are a fearless woman of strength and grace.
God's precious gift to the world.
You are the answer to your grandmother's prayers.
You are the reality of your grandfather's dreaming.
You are the breath of your ancestors.
You are the spirit of God.
You are exactly the one needed to restore new passion and promise to the world.
May you live a wholehearted, courageous life that hears first God's voice both around
and within you.
May you live with a trust that is deeper and stronger than fear.
May you remember the world needs your voice — your precious, unique, and beautiful
voice — so speak with both confidence and humility.
May you hold your past with tenderness and your future with hope, knowing that the
Lord is with you in all of it.
May you remember you are extraordinary. There is no one else like you.
Be who you were created to be and let your soul find its truth.
May your life be one of continual prayer, a path of faith, a song of love, and a story of
praise for God who adores you and a world that needs you.
In all these things we pray, in Jesus Name.
Amen.

Our Foundresses
Twenty years ago, 14 courageous women of vision, religious sisters and lay women, founded
Marian Middle School. At the time, nothing existed to support young girls who were falling
through the cracks of the education system. In response, Marian’s foundresses boldly
imagined an innovative education model to empower girls to flourish — spiritually,
academically, socially, emotionally and physically. The beginnings were humble… a rented
space that consisted of just one floor, four classrooms, two grades, and four staff.
During Marian Magic, we recall and honor the seven religious congregations
and the 14 women who created Marian Middle School.

The Loretto Community
supports Marian Middle School
in its life-changing and
outstanding work.
Loretto salutes Marian Middle School,
its students and alums as it celebrates
21 years of “Educating Girls for Life.”
Marian was founded in 1999 by seven
communities of Catholic sisters,
including the Sisters of Loretto.
Shown here is Lonjay Hemphill,
one of the five Marian Middle School
alumns now attending Nerinx Hall
High School, another St. Louis area
school strongly supported by Loretto.
