Maraia - Soul Friends, St Patrick, Ash Wednesday

Soul Friends, St Patrick, Ash Wednesday 

Today at St Pius school we had a very special mass. this Mass was special because we celebrated three very important occasions for our school. They are St Patrick's Day, Ash Wednesday and Soul Friends day. As we go fourth in the week of lent today we honour St.Patrick, he is the patron saint of Ireland and the Holy faith sisters who started our school, over sixty years ago, who came from Ireland, and they brought the Ideas of Soul friends.

In the early Irish church people choose someone wise to be there Soul Friend. This Friends is someone who you will look up to and a person who you can talk to you and share the experiences in life with.

We had our Ash Wednesday today because every time we tried to have a Ash Wednesday mass we went into lock down.
