La Feile Naomh Padraig
Hail glorious St Patrick we honour thy name,
Tho, Erin may claim thee, the world knows thy fame.
The faith of our fathers is our treasure too,
How holy the thought, that they learned it from you.
Saint Patrick, Feast Day 17th March, Patron Saint of Ireland, is one of the World’s most popular and well known saints.
The day is marked with the wearing of the shamrock, our National emblem that was supposedly used by Patrick to explain the Trinity.
It is a day when everyone wants to be Irish even if it goes back many generations, and to any part of the world, thus proclaiming their solidarity with the ancestral homeland.
Many people from overseas travel to Ireland to take part or watch the various parades.
Children from Crossmolina (sponsored by Crossmolina Community Council) with the Renee Cronin art class take part in the parade in Ballina this year and can expect much local support and admiration.
St Patrick’s association with Mayo is well known and many thousands of people annually make the climb of Ireland’s holy mountain Croagh Patrick in his honour.
Holy wells associated with St Patrick are numerous, and in our own parish the well at Tristia, reputed to have curative powers, is visited especially on the last Sunday in July.
St Patrick’s Day is a special day for remembering our missionaries, who went like Patrick to spread the faith, and here we fondly remember from our own parish in recent times, Fr John Gallagher and Fr Enda Kelly.
We remember also, perhaps our more senior emigrants, who went in search of work from a different Ireland than we have today, but have still retained some memories of their homeland and native parish. Beannachta na Feile Naomh Padriag chuig gach duine.
