More than Just Shamrocks and Green Beer!

Every year on March 17th, we celebrate Saint Patrick's Day. Originally an Irish holiday, it has gained significant cultural importance in this country, primarily as a celebration of Irish heritage and identity. Its roots trace back to the arrival of Irish immigrants, particularly during the 19th century when millions fled Ireland due to the Great Famine. 

Over the years, it has evolved from a religious observance honoring Ireland’s patron saint, into a broader secular celebration of Irish culture marked by parades, green attire, shamrocks, and yes, even green beer. 

Remembering Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

We remember and honor the work and the memory of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. today. Dr. King's speech from the March on Washington in 1963 is worth a listen. Civil unrest, division, and outrage at true inequality being codified into law was the background for this event. Even in the midst of all that, Dr. King saw the opportunity to "transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood."
