Today for saint Pius X we had a very special mass. This mass is special because we celebrated three important occasions for our school. They are,St Patrick day, soul friend and ash Wednesday. As we journey in the fourth week of lent, today we honour St Patrick who is the patron saint of the Irish people and the holy faith sister who starter` our school, more than sixty years ago, who were from Ireland,they brought with them the beautiful idea of soul friend.
in the early Irish church people chose someone wise to be their soul friends. this friends is a person they can talk to and share their experiences in life. they seek his or her advice other. they make a commitment to do this yet live their own life separately. we model this relationship in our school. it was introduced to us by the holy faith sister who started students look out for the younger ones and vice versa.
we had ash Wednesday ashes today because It was the practice in Rome for Christian sinners to begin their period of public penance on the first day of Lent in preparation for their restoration to the sacrament of the Eucharist.Worship services are also held on Ash Wednesday in Anglican, Lutheran, and some other Protestant churches but when we got our ash we were in lock down.
St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland Patrick was Irish.Patrick didn't make his way to Ireland until Irish pirates kidnapped him at age 16. From there, he started his journey to converting the Irish to Christianity and becoming an Irish patron saint and that how he got his name.
