St. Patrick’s Day Celebration

Yesterday, Saint James School students celebrated the patron saint of Ireland – St. Patrick – with limericks, poems, songs, Irish step dancing, and bagpipe performances.  Most importantly, students continued to learn more about who St. Patrick was and his role in helping establish the Catholic church in Ireland.
