Duchesne High School is a small, private, coeducational, Catholic high school in St. Charles, Missouri, USA, in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Saint Louis. The name commemorates St. Rose Philippine Duchesne, whose pioneering spirit was the driving force behind her missionary work throughout the region. Duchesne is classified as a regional high school by the Archdiocese of St. Louis, which means that certain parishes are "assigned" to this school as the primary areas served.

Contents

Prayer to St. Rose Philippine Duchesne and End of the day Prayer

Philippine Duchesne,

You were a pioneer woman, called to join a pioneer endeavor - to explore, to begin, to expand the educational frontiers of a new world.
Each of us, as a Duchesne Pioneer, asks that, through your intercession, we be able to face our 'frontiers' and meet the challenge of being 'pioneers.' As boundaries appear before us, help us to step gently over despair and fashion a resurrection realm, a hope-hallowed world.
Help us follow your model, as we strive for a world which we cannot explain, risk our lives to find new life, challenge social patterns which give false comfort, enter the Heart of the One who is Beginning and End, share in the restlessness of the Spirit, and become instruments of peace.

Amen.

This prayer is said every Monday morning to begin the school week. The leader reads the first segment and the whole student body joins in at "Each of us...."

(End of the day prayer)

May the Lord Bless and keep you. May the lord look kindly upon you and give you his peace. St. Damien DeVeuster pray for us, St. Katharine Drexel pray for us, St. Issac Jogues pray for us, St. Kateri Tekakwitha pray for us and St. Rose Philippine Duchesne pray for us

Amen.
