College Song

Sub Tuum Praesidium | Marist Hymn

Sub tuum praesidium confugimus, confugimus
We fly to your patronage

Sancta Dei Genetrix, Sancta Dei, Genetrix,
O Holy Mother of Gods

Nostras deprecationes ne despicias, ne despicias
Despise not our prayers

In necessitatibus nostris,
But deliver us from all dangers

Sed a periculis cunctis
But deliver us from all dangers

Libera nos semper,
we fly to your patronage

Virgo gloriosa et benedicta
O Holy Mother of Gods

Recta Sapere | College Song

Lyrics adapted from the John Therry Catholic College and motto which itself is based on a Marist prayer. 

Lord God, instruct our hearts
to be truly wise and to know your love
Recta Sapere, Recta Sapere

Recta Sapere to be truly wise
And to know and relish what's right and just
By the light of the Holy Spirit

Lord God, instruct our hearts to be truly just and to love like you
Recta Sapere, Recta Sapere

Recta Sapere to be truly wise
And to know and relish what's right and just
By the light of the Holy Spirit

Recta Sapere to be truly wise
And to know and relish what's right and just
By the light of the Holy Spirit


Instruct our hearts,
Instruct our hearts,
Instruct our hearts
Instruct our hearts
