About Me

Hi, My name is Sam and I am a Year 5 student at Mt Carmel School. I wanted to participate in the Summer Blogging as I was with my mum when Rachel came to talk to her class. I asked my mum if I can join. Finally she agrees and I am very keen to journey through with so many children around New Zealand.

Soul Friends Mass


Friday morning we began with our Soul Friend mass as a whole school.  We had to make our promises to our soul friends Soul Friends are two or three friends who bond to get to know each other very well.  My soul friend is Stanley and Sione To’a.  I promised to them and that I will commit myself to listen to them everyday. During our mass we listened to Father Ioane's homily. He was also talking about how special Saint Patrick's day was. Saint Patrick is the Patron Saint of Ireland. He grew up in a rich family. He was captured when he was 16 years old. He escaped one night during a raiding party. Then he wrote many prayers about God. Then he also mentioned our new Pope. Pope Francis the first. He was from Argentina. Then he had his final prayer and the mass ended.
