Prayers
Prayers
We pray for safety and shelter for all people and property throughout the remainder of the 2015 Hurricane Season.
We pray for Pope Francis I and his upcoming trip to America to focus on the family. We also pray for families - may the Lord strengthen their bonds of love, mercy, compassion and forgiveness!
We pray in thanksgiving for the success of the Back to School Cookout this past Saturday. We also pray in thanksgiving for a successful Curriculum Night for grades PreK to 5 yesterday evening.
We pray for the Newcom family as they mourn the loss of Mr. Newcom's uncle. May God surround the Newcom family during this difficult time. We also lift up in prayer Mr. Newcom's grandmother who suffered a stroke this past Monday. May God's healing hand be with her and may God strengthen the Newcom family.

Hope Will Rise
We believe that we can do hard work.At Incarnation Catholic School, we believe that we can do hard things. This growth mindset enhances learning and development and allows students to learn, grow in their faith and become the people that God created them to be. We know that if there is no struggle then there is no learning, either because it's too easy (we already know it), or we stopped trying (because it was too hard).
Hope Will Rise!
