Patricia owes her success to her mother, who sacrificed everything to raise her children in the fear of God.

A lady of humble beginning is now a retired educator for 47 years, retiring as a Principal. She received her early education from Mother Donaldson’s Preschool, Western Preparatory and Nassau Street Primary, T.G.

Hymn of Preparation……………………………………………….……………. Great God of Wonders
Great God of wonders, all Thy ways
In wonder lost, with trembling joy
Are matchless, and divine we take the pardon of our Lord
But the fair glories of Thy grace
Pardon for sin of deepest dye
More godlike and unrivaled shine a pardon sealed with Jesus’ blood
Who is a pardoning God like Thee? Or who had grace so rich and free?
Such dire offences to forgive
Such guilty daring souls to spare
This is Thy grand prerogative
And none shall in the honor share
O may this glorious matchless love
This God-like miracle of grace
Teach mortal tongues, like those above
To raise this song of lofty praise.

How precious is their blood!
How happy al thy servants are!
How great thy grace to me!
There shall my zeal perform the vows my life, which thou have made thy care, My soul in anguish made. Lord, I devote to thee.

Closing Hymn ” O, Jesus I Have Promised”
O Jesus, I have promised
O let me feel Thee near me, To serve Thee to the end, The world is ever near. Be Thou forever near me
I see the sights that dazzle, My Master and my Friend The tempting sounds I hear.
I shall not fear the battle
My foes are never near me, If Thou art by my side, Around me and within Nor wandering from the pathway
But, Jesus draw Thou nearer If Thou wilt be y guide And shield my soul from sin
O let me hear Thee speaking
O Jesus, Thou hast promised In accents clear and still, To all who follow Thee.
Above the storms of passion
That where Thou art in glory, The murmurs of self will There shall Thy servant be O speak to reassure me, And Jesus, I have promised To hasten or control To serve Thee to the end
O speak and make me listen,
O give me grace to follow, Thou guardian of my soul My Master and my Friend
