Gorman - Celebrating 50 Years: 1958-2008

Good Morning

"Loving Father, 50 years ago you called a faithful, humble and committed group of believers to found our beloved Gorman School.  As we gather this morning, we thank you for your Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and our Holy Mother, the Virgin Mary.  We thank you for the tremendous sacrifices made by so many to provide hope and a future for us today.  We pray for the wisdom to look back on God's fidelity to our Tyler Catholic School System and we pray also for the faithfulness to look forward to God's goodness and blessings for the years to come.  May we too make the sacrifices that are pleasing to you dear Father that we may give those who follow us a reason for hoping and believing in your precious, risen Son.  All these things we ask in the name of the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit."
