Maewyn Succate and SLS Chapel

Happy Saint Patrick's Day. SLS had chapel and learned about Maewyn. He was captured and taken as a slave to Ireland to work. He later escaped, returned to England, became a priest and returned to Ireland as Patrick to share his faith. He died in 461 AD on March 17. He is celebrated as the Patron Saint of Ireland. History cannot support the myth of driving out the snakes (probably refers to the many pagan rituals) and the teaching bout the Trinity using the shamrock. Saint Patrick was tied to Matthew 28 in our chapel worship - where we are commanded to "go" and "make disciples." The third graders are saying "Go!" in the picture above.
