One School, One Book
As part of the first phase of the school’s “Faith First: The Lake Catholic Scripture and Prayer Initiative,” supported by a Rooted in Faith grant that the school recently received, every Lake Catholic student received their own Catholic Study Bible.
The Bibles were passed out during Theology finals at the end of the 2025-26 school year. Before their final, the freshmen theology classes received their Bible and recited the following prayer:
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the gift of Your Word — living, powerful, and full of truth. As I hold this new Bible in my hands, I dedicate it to You. May every page I turn draw me closer to Your heart, and every verse I read shape my thoughts, words, and actions.
Let this book be more than ink and paper — let it be a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. May it comfort me in sorrow, guide me in confusion, and strengthen me in weakness.
Holy Spirit, open my eyes to see the treasures within, my ears to hear Your voice, and my heart to obey. May this Bible be a constant reminder of Your promises and a source of life for my soul.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
These Bibles will serve not only as a resource for Theology classes and personal prayer, but also as the foundation for this summer’s “One School, One Book” reading project.
Incoming students will be able to pick up their Bibles over the summer so they too can complete their summer reading.
Students and families can review the documents below outlining the summer assignment and expectations. We are excited about this shared experience as our students begin exploring Scripture together in a meaningful and faith-centered way.
