Happy St. Patrick’s Day

 I remember the butter cookies with the green sprinkles on top.  I remember the muffins with green icing.  I remember the Parade up 5th Avenue in New York City, and how Fordham made a big deal of it.  Catholic schools had the day off so we could go and celebrate.  But since today is a Sunday, we don’t have the St. Patrick’s day mass because the 5th Sunday of Lent takes precedent.  I got to write the Pope about this.  As we Irish say, “Offer it up.”  Let’s celebrate anyway!.  Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you all.
