If Morrow County has an official saint he is surely St.
Patrick. 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.

Maundy
One week from today is
Maunday Thursday, or Holy
Thursday, just three days
before Easter. 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.
Martin Luther . and his
followers ' condemned the
practice of washing feet, and
now very few Protestant
groups still include that cere
mony which is intended as a
visible token of Christian
brotherly love.
However, most groups regu
larly celebrate the Last Sup
per, which has become the
basis of The Mass or Com
munion Service. At the Hepp
