St. David's Day

Mr. Samuel spoke to the School on Saturday in Chapel about St. David's Day. A National holiday in Wales, the day celebrates Saint David, a Catholic Monk who died on March 1st (the year is uncertain, but it was in the latter part of the 6th century). Mr. Samuel challenged us with St. David's own words, "Do the little things"—pay attention to the details and the larger things will take care of themselves—and, "Be joyful." Happiness, said Mr. Samuel, is inside all of us. He played us various Welsh recordings of some of our favourite hymns. Mr. Doyle and Mrs. John, both also from Wales, helped with the service by reading prayers.
