St. Patrick's Day was terrific. For some of us it actually began Wednesday morning when we gathered in the Parish Hall after Mass for breakfast treats; tables decorated in St. Patrick's Day colors, Irish Soda Bread, cookies, yummmmm.
Thursday, St. Patrick's Day, was brought to a festive end at St. Rose of Lima Parish in Milton where Father Dennis O'Brien (is that an Irish name or what!!!) and the associate Pastor, Father Nicholas Schumm (pronounced O'Schumm one day of the year!), invited the Priests to a special Irish-American Dinner. A great group of priests were able to attend. We began with drinks, a REAL Irish Beer for me, conversation and greetings. We sat for salad served with real Irish Soda Bread (I brought three slices home, but please don't tell). Corned beef and cabbage, of course, right!, potatoes, carrots - ending with a dessert of scoops of ice cream and cookies. Awesome evening.
The pictures below are the ones I have waited since last July to post. Pictures I took at St. Patrick's Cathedral, the real one in Ireland. This visit to this Cathedral and then to be able to stand on the ground he walked on and preached from, was truly moving. I wanna return someday.
