Congratulations and prayerful best wishes to the Class of 2017 from

The West Texas Catholic

“Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.”

Philippians 2:3-4

A Prayer For Religious Liberty

Almighty God, Father of all nations, for freedom you have set us free in Christ Jesus (Gal 5:1). We praise and bless you for the gift of religious liberty, the foundation of human rights, justice, and the common good. Grant to our leaders the wisdom to protect and promote our liberties; By your grace may we have the courage to defend them, for ourselves and for all those who live in this blessed land. We ask this through the intercession of Mary Immaculate, our patroness and in the name of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, with whom you live and reign, One God forever and ever.

Amen.

The West Texas Catholic thanks those who helped make this issue possible, providing the newspaper with photos of the Class of 2017:

• David Webb at Western Photo in Amarillo;• Roy Banner at Life Touch National Schools Studios;• Dana Burgin at Hot Shots Photography in Borger; and, • Kathy Shockey at Kathy Shockey Photography, www.kathyshockey.com in
