In Chicago we held our annual St. Patrick's Day parade on Saturday since the real day, Monday, falls within Holy Week. In the Roman Catholic Church, a saint's feast day is not celebrated with a mass if it falls within Holy Week. So the same goes for today which is St. Joseph's Day, a big Italian feast day.<BR/><BR/>As for funny names, my nickname on St. Patrick's Day is Patty O'Furniture - most likely because I usually end up spending the night in someone's back yard.Thomas MacEnteehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09925130637060406529noreply@blogger.com
