We thank you for the Archdiocese of New York for all
the support and guidance we have received.
We thank you for the Dominican Sisters of Blauvelt and
the Sisters of the Resurrection for their leadership and dedication.
We thank you for all the principals, teachers, staff
and volunteers for their amazing generosity and countless hours of service to
our school
We thank you for parents who have entrusted their
children to us.
We thank you for all our benefactors whose generous
support assists us in providing the very best for our young.
We thank you for all our current students and for our
Alumni who are now offering distinguished lives of service to their families,

We thank you for the lives of those who worked, served
or attended our school and now have departed, may they rest in peace. (Pause particularly for Sean Grogan)
Almighty Lord, we ask your continued blessings on us
and we pray that students of the present and future generations may learn in
this school to know, to love, and to serve You and recognize Your Presence in
one another.
We ask the Patrons of our school, St. Denis and St.
