Our Father
Our Father who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those , who trespass against us
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil.

Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace
The Lord is with thee,
blessed art thou among women
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God
Pray for us sinners, now
and at the hour of our death.
Glory be to the Father
Glory be to the Father
and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be
world without end

The Apostles Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by power of the Holy Spirit
and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried.
He descended into hell.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting.

Prayer to St. Mark
O Glorious St Mark,
through the grace of God
our Father, you became
a great Evangelist, preaching
the Good News of Christ.
May you help us to know Him
well, so that we may
faithfully live our lives
as followers of Christ.
Amen.

St. Mark’s Hymn
This is you, this is me.
This is St. Mark’s family.
From the youngest to the oldest
We’re certain to set free,
Every talent, every power,
Working through the school day hours.
So our lives are the enrichment
Of the gifts that God makes ours.
Hear the lion roar! St.Mark’s is here
Growing up in courage, stronger year on year.
We will grow in friendship and in love
And St.Mark will help us from above.
We know he will hear
and when we call to Heaven’s shore,
the lion will roar!
Every day comes anew,
There’s so much we have to do.
Stepping out in hope together,
The way that is straight and true.
Making friends, taking care

Learning what it is to share.
In our games and fun and laughter
There’ll be love and joy to spare.
Hear the lion roar! St.Mark’s is here
Growing up in courage, stronger year on year.
We will grow in friendship and in love
And St.Mark will help us from above.
We know he will hear
and when we call to Heaven’s shore,
the lion will roar!
So we work every day
To become the best we may
There’s a world that’s waiting for us
We want to have our say.
We want freedom, we want peace,
We want every war to cease,
But we have to learn together
How to make our love increase.
Hear the lion roar! St.Mark’s is here
Growing up in courage, stronger year on year.
We will grow in friendship and in love
And St.Mark will help us from above.
We know he will hear
and when we call to Heaven’s shore,
the lion will roar!

The Prayer of St Richard 

Thanks be to thee, my Lord Jesus Christ, 

 for all the benefits thou hast given me,  

for all the pains and insults thou hast borne for me.  

O most merciful redeemer, friend and brother,  

may I know thee more clearly,  

love thee more dearly,  

and follow thee more nearly.  

Amen.
