VERONA — The Holy Rosary will be prayed in front of St. Andrew Catholic Church at 301 N. Main St. on Saturday, March 17, at 12 noon. The banner will read: “God’s Marriage = one man and one woman.”
This Public Square Rosary Rally sponsored by America Needs Fatima will be one of over 3,000 rallies that will take place across the United States that day.
As someone with Irish ancestors, I am proud to claim an Irish background, joining with over 34 million Americans who are apparently descended from Irish roots.
So celebrating St. Patrick’s Day on March 17 has a special significance for me and many others in our country. And in fact, we often say that everybody is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day!
However, it seems that with the wearing of the green, eating corned beef and cabbage, and singing Irish songs, many people don’t remember the religious significance of St. Patrick any longer.
