Family of Mary Awards

The Family of Mary Award is one of the most significant awards that Chaminade gives at the end of each year. This is an award that is presented to a family graduating from Chaminade. We recognize in a special way those families who have made a long-standing commitment to Chaminade, sending not just one or two children to the school, but three or more children over the course of their tenure at Chaminade.

May the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit be glorified in all places through the Immaculate Virgin Mary. Amen.

Sending Forth Song

“S

(By Jonathan Lowry, Chad Mattson, Seth Mosley)

Verse 1:

This world can be cold and bitter, Feels like we're in the dead of winter. Waiting on something better, But am I really gonna hide forever? Over and over again, I hear Your voice in my head. Let Your light shine, let Your light shine for all to see.

Chorus:

Start a fire in my soul; fan the flame and make it grow So there's no doubt or denying.

Let it burn so brightly that everyone around can see That it's You, that it's You that we need Start a fire in me.

Verse 2:

You only need a spark to start a whole blaze

It only takes a little faith

Let it start right here in this city

So these old walls will never be the same Over and over again

I hear Your voice in my head

They need to know, I need to go Spirit won't You fall on my heart now

Chorus

Start a fire in my soul; fan the flame and make it grow So there's no doubt or denying.

Let it burn so brightly that everyone around can see That it's You, that it's You that we need Start a fire in me.
