St. David's Feast Day is March 1 St. David School has a very strong relationship with Holy Trinity Church. Our students attend mass once a month and each House is responsible for the mass. Our students are active members of the parish and many alternate as altar servers. St. David is named after a Welsh Bishop. St. David or "Dewi" as he was also called, was Biship in Mynyw and is Patron Saint of Wales. He lived in the extreme south-west corner of Wales, at Menevia (Mynyw), with a number of disciples and founded the principal of his many abbeys. The community lived in extreme austerity. Hard manual labour was obligatory for all, and they were allowed no cattle to relieve them in tilling the ground. They might never speak without necessity, and they never ceased praying mentally, even when at work. Their food was bread, with vegetables and salt, and they drank only water, sometimes mingled with a little milk. For this reason St. David was surnamed "The Waterman". He was unanimously elected primate of the Cambrian church. St David accepted, but he did so on condition that the episcopal seat should be transferred from Caerleon to Mynyw - now St. Davids - a quiet and solitary place. His death took place around 589, in his monastery in Mynyw. His body was subsequently transported from the monastery church to St. David's Cathedral, where the tomb is still shown. His cult was approved in 1120 by Pope Callistus II. St. David is also known as the patron saint of poets.
