Celebrating St. Patrick at St. Joseph Residence!
Our St. Patrick’s party on Saturday was a celebration of generations as we welcomed two wonderful groups to our Home: families from Queen of the Apostles Academy and young adults from Crossroads 4 Christ! St. Joseph Hall was transformed into our own Emerald Isle with shamrocks, pots of gold, and tables overflowing with homemade treats and authentic Irish coffee! Our day included a visit from St. Patrick himself! Dressed as a bishop with his crozier and miter, an earnest and attentive young Patryk honored his patron saint by visiting with each guest and presenting bags of thoughtful treasures!
To keep us entertained the children danced and sang, and a trio of lovely ladies – all named Mary! – led us in a sing-along of classic Irish folk tunes! A highlight of the afternoon was a beautiful rendition of “Come by The Hills” by our own Mary T. Donovan. Many thanks to our hardworking and generous visitors from Queen of the Apostles and Crossroads 4 Christ!
