Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!
Here are some pictures from our St. Patrick's Day breakfast!

 According to the best authorities, St. Patrick was born about A.D. 373.  From the passion of Christ to the death of Patrick there were 436 years.  Traditions of the highest authority attest that he spent sixty years preaching the Gospel to the Scoto-Irish.  By the time of his death he had baptized tens of thousand and established hundreds of churches throughout Ireland.  Within a century this once pagan land became predominately Christian, possessing such a vigorous faith that Ireland in turn sent out missionaries to Scotland, England, France, Germany, and Belgium.  The old saint died in his beloved Ireland, March 17th, about 460 A.D.
