On the 17th of March 2021 Saint Pius X had a very special mass. This mass was special because we celebrated three important occasions for our school. They are, St Patrick's Day, Soul Friends and Ash Wednesday. As we journey in the fourth week of lent, today we honour St. Patrick who is the patron saint of Irish people and the Holy Faith Sisters who started our school, more than sixty years ago, who were from Ireland. They Brought with them the beautiful idea of Soul Friends.
In the early Irish Church people chose someone wise to be their soul friend. This friend is a person they can talk to and share their experiences in life. It was introduced to us by the Holy Faith Sisters who started St. Pius X School more than 60 years ago. It is a beautiful relationship, where the older students look out for the younger and vice versa.
We had our Ash Wednesday ashes today because lock down has been happening a lot in Auckland, New Zealand.
St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland because he was the chosen one of God.
Here below is a picture of the whole school sharing lunch with their Soul Friend.
