Today is another important day in our Crusaders' high school career. Those of you taking PreACT and PSAT, these tests will provide you with practice as you prepare for college entrance exams.  For those students taking the ACT test, this is an official test which can be used for admission into colleges. It is vital that all students take these tests serious and do your best work so that the scores you receive are an accurate depiction of your abilities.

Now let us remember that we are in God's presence:

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Holy Spirit, Giver of all good gifts, enter into our minds and hearts.  Give us the gift of knowledge and the grace to use it wisely. Help us in all our endeavors, especially now as we prepare to take these standardized tests.

Give us the perseverance and fortitude to help our memory so that we may remember what we have learned and be able to recall it when necessary.

We pray this in Jesus’ name.  Amen.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Ametur Cor Jesu.  Ametur Cor Mariae
