Today Wednesday, sees the start of this year’s State Exams. It is an anxious time for students and families especially in these challenging times. We want to wish God’s blessings on all our students in Shannon and in the surrounding parishes and to assure them of our prayers and support. We will be remembering you in all our Masses in the coming days.

Prayer for Exam Students

O God, bring calm to my mind and heart as I prepare for my exams,

Give me a quiet confidence in my gifts and talents.

Remind me of my dignity and preciousness in a world where we compete in exams, for jobs and place in life.

Anoint my memory with the power of recall.

Keep me calm on the days of my exams.

Help me to try my hardest and to do my best. Amen.
