Heroes Of The Faith Speak
At one time nearly 100 years ago the nation of Ireland suffered a severe potato blight. Famine killed hundreds of thousands of people. And many millions of Irishmen emigrated to the United States. These colorful people brought with them March 17, Saint Patrick's Day. Who is this Patrick? When did he live? What was his life? Today, by special arrangement, we have Patrick with us to tell his own story. But before he comes, a little Irish music to get you in the mood.
(A tape of Irish music is played. After two minutes, Patrick himself enters to walk up the center aisle.)
