Margaret Alyward Mass

Dear Followers,

On Tues the senior part of the choir went the Whitehall in Dublin to sing with other Holy Faith schools for Margaret Alywards Bicentenary mass. The Holy Faith sisters are the founders of our school. But they were founded in 1867, by a lady named Margaret Alyward. She was a lay women who set out to love and care for the poor and especially the orphaned. She set up several Holy Faith schools in Ireland, one in which I attend today.

Lady Alywards mass was held on St.Bridget's day because they are so alike in what work they have done and them both being women. Margaret did often look up to St.Bridget during her life. I think she was an extordinary women for what she did. She was in prison for heresy and fought a lot of battles to.

It was a lovely mass and we met other girls from Holy Faith schools which was nice.

Thank You,
Roisin.P.
