St. Patrick’s pageants a beloved Heppner tradition For 29 years, the Heppner Chamber of Com merce has sponsored three days of celebration in honor of St. Patrick. After many such celebrations, someone suggested to the pastor of St. Patrick’s Parish in Hep pner, Father Gerry Con don, that there should be a drama in honor of the great saint. After unsuccessfully searching for such a drama, Condon decided to write one himself. Thus was the start of six dramas written by Condon in collaboration with musician and com poser, Joe Lindsay. This year’s effort w ill be a repeat of 2008’s “From Cenacle to Calvary” with a new scene added in the Garden of Gethsemane. As to why an encore per formance, Condon admits, “I let time go by, and it became too late to start a new one.” The play follows the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ, from Cenacle (the upper room where the Last Supper was held) to Calvary (the site of His crucifixion). Condon said his hope is that this drama “will be inspiring for all who attend.” As the busy shep herd of not just one, but two flocks, lone and Heppner, it is understandable why he couldn’t fit in writing a new drama. He explains the dramas are written over the course of several months, split between his summer break in Ireland and free time in Heppner. Condon reflects on the “widespread accep tance” his dramas have received. Over the years, the casts have included pastors and members of other denominations.
