God of all creation, may your Spirit inspire us to do your will.
Bless us in your service, strengthen us in our support of each other.
Unite us as we grow in faith and love, to be a welcoming, caring community,

This we pray in the name of our Holy Saviour, Jesus Christ, the Lord.
Amen.

The overall theme of the window is Rising from Darkness to the light. 
It is represented by two fish swimming in water and the symbolic use of the True Vine and the Grain of Wheat. The Vine symbolises our union with Jesus and our dependence on Him.  The Grain of Wheat sown in the ground grows from the darkness within earth towards the light – from darkness to light.
Surrounding the central theme and evenly spaced around each panel in the window one drawings from each grade in the primary school reflecting the life of the Parish and School.
The Parish Emblem is the CHI-RHO symbol and it appears in the four outer corners and enfolds the imagery in the centre of the window.
The X represents the Greek letter “Chi” and the P represents the letters “Rho”.  In the Parish emblem the X and P come together to rise from water and symbolise Christ's Resurrection.

(Parish Emblem)

A carpenter, though born of the royal house of David, Joseph was an upright man who, as husband of the Virgin Mary, cared for Mary and the child Jesus. Venerated in the East after the fourth century, and his cult flowered in the West during the fifteenth century, following the development of medieval nativity plays, the Christmas crib, and increased devotion to Mary.
