The largest, loveliest church here is named in his honor. A very lively segment of the population is composed of his sons, daughters and grandchildren who still point with much pride to the Emerald Isle from whence came their ancestors. An annual event on "his" day is the Irish Stew Feast being prepared once again by the ladies of St. Patrick's Church Altar Society. They all work on this noble production under the leadership of their President Marian Brosnan. Although the flag of Ireland will probably not fly here as it formerly did each year on March 17 (the anniversary of the good saint's death in about 461) there will be appropriate decorations and joyful music to help patrons enjoy the Irish Saint's Day as they consume their ample servings of genuine Irish Stew pure ambrosia, thick with the best of beef, skillfully seasoned and enriched with vegetables and gorgeous gravy. There will be salad and dessert, too. The Larry Lindsay Family Group from out Lexington " Hi P.

It commemor 'ates two events of Christ's last week on earth: washing the feet of His disciples, and the sharing of the Last Supper with them.
