Welcome to the Father Michael Mireau
    Junior High Open House 2022

Opening Prayer
I dreamed I stood in a studio
And watched two sculptors there.
The clay they used was a young child’s mind
And they fashioned it with care.
One was a teacher, the tools he used
Were books and music and art.
The other was a parent with guiding hands
And a gentle loving heart.
Day after day, the teacher toiled with touch
That was deft and sure.
While the parent labored by her side
And polished and smoothed it over.
And when at last their task was done,
They were proud of what they had wrought
For the things they had molded into the child
Could never be sold or bought.
And each agree they would have failed
If each had worked alone.
For behind the parent stood the school
And behind the teacher, the home.
            Amen

Treaty 6 Acknowledgement:
We would like to acknowledge that our virtual gathering today is being held on
the traditional land of Treaty 6 Territory, and we wish to also acknowledge the
diverse indigenous peoples whose ancestors' footsteps have marked this territory
for centuries, such as: Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Blackfoot, Nakota Sioux, as well as
Metis and Inuit, and now settlers from around the world.
