Year 12 Merici College student, Imogene Blake, composed an acapella choral piece entitled ‘A Prayer During Change’. The choral piece is intended as a prayer to St Angela Merici, the College’s Patron Saint. Imogene was featured as part of a musical interlude this week at the 2020 ACT Board of Senior Secondary Studies (BSSS) Recognition of Excellence Ceremony.

We hope you enjoy her hauntingly beautiful musical work.

Lyrics

Blessed Saint Angela Merici

You were not afraid of change,

You did not let stereotypes keep you from serving.

Please pray for us in this time of change.

Help us to overcome our fear of change,

In order to follow God’s call,

And help others to follow theirs

According to God’s plan.

Amen.
