When it comes to celebrating St. Patrick's Day, there is no time like the present for members St. Michael the Archangel Church. 

The congregation celebrated the holiday early this year with its annual Cieli on the Key Irish festival on Feb. 25 at St. Michael the Archangel Church. 

Parishioners donned their most festive green apparel for the evening of frivolity, which included special performances by Drake School of Irish Dance, Sarasota.
