Members of the St. Mary Star of the Sea congregation dined and danced for the St. Patrick’s Day party Saturday, March 14. To start the night guests played a couple of rounds of hot potato around their tables. Shortly after the duo of Patsy and Majella Carroll began playing traditional Irish songs for the crowd. The theme continued to the menu with a meal of corned beef, cabbage, red potatoes, carrots and Irish beers. Each table also included a loaf of Irish soda bread.
Organizer and President of the Men’s Club, Dave Carter surprised guests with a performance by bag piper Gary Reinstrom of Jacobites Piping Hot with J.D. Ellsworth on drums.
