Page 4 Shamrock In Admzhzklmlzbn Many of the early settlers of Dearborn were of Irish descent and quite natur- ally, then, they turned to St. Patrick to guide them in their first venture of school administration. Certainly, they recalled, he was a teacher worthy of any class- room. They remembered his debates with the pagan chiefs and the legends en- circling them. One story very dear to them was that of the Shamrock. When the angered pagans demanded of him to prove that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are Three Persons, yet one in essence, the sturdy missionary was, at first, non- plussed. His eyes lighted upon a shamrock growing nearby. He picked a leaf, de- manding of his opponents whether or not he held up one leaf or three leaves. If one leaf, then why three lopes of equal size? If three leaves, then why only one stem? His accusers were silenced, for they could not explain. And if you cannot explain so simple a mystery as the shamrock, how can you learn to understand one so profound as the Holy Trinity? Since the shamrock had become for them a symbol of their Catholic faith, could not their faith in Catholic education be included ini it? Their decision resulted in the students incorporating the shamrock into their school symbolism. All Dearborn, today, recognizes the shamrock as belonging to Sacred Heart School. 1
