Heavenly Father, we thank you for gathering us today to celebrate hard work, generosity, and bright futures.
Bless our scholarship recipients , their families, and our most generous supporters and their families as we celebrate this successful scholarship banquet.
Lord, We come together tonight in your name with hearts full of thanks.
Thank you for the gifts of minds to learn, health to strive, and our community of donors who support our cause!
Truly, we are grateful for Your guidance, wisdom, and grace that have enabled these young minds to grow and excel.
Lord, look with favor upon them! Only You see the quiet hours of effort, the early mornings, and the late nights of study they poured into their work.
Bless their families, teachers, and generous donors who gave their love, time, and financial resources to light the way.
Let our banquet be a joyful reminder of Your goodness and the dedication of Fr. George Ruffolo, your holy servant, who selflessly dedicated, his life caring for his flock.
Guide these scholarship recipients forward so their lives may shine as a light of service to their communities , hope, and kindness to the world at large.
In Your holy name, we pray.
Amen.
