Chandigarh, Aug. 15 -- Sacred Heart Senior Secondary School, Chandigarh, celebrated the Feast Day of St Clare, one of its patron saints, with great devotion and enthusiasm in a special programme held in the school auditorium. The entire school community gathered to honour the life and legacy of St Clare, the 12th-century saint renowned for her humility, faith, and service to others. The programme commenced with a warm welcome and an introduction to the inspiring life of St Clare, highlighting her dedication to a life of simplicity and compassion. This was followed by the traditional lighting of the lamp, symbolising the light of wisdom and truth, and a serene prayer dance presented by the school's cultural team. Melodious hymns filled the auditorium, creating an atmosphere of peace and reflection. A speech by a student speaker shed light on the saint's remarkable journey - from her noble upbringing in Assisi to her choice of a life devoted entirely to God and the poor. The highlight of the celebration was a beautifully enacted play depicting key moments from St Clare's life and her teachings, bringing her values to life for the audience in a way that was both moving and relatable.
