"May ye be in heaven an hour before the devil knows your dead!"
                                                       ​-old Irish proverb

When St. Patrick's School closed last year, more than just a beloved school was lost, several traditions were also lost.

One tradition kept alive, at least for one more year. was the St. Patrick's Day sing - a - long.
Former St. Patrick's student Stella Ruscak, who left St. Pat's last year as a fourth-grader, asked her mom if they could have the sing along again. She mentioned that they got together around Christmas to sing carols in the park and thought why not get together on St. Patrick's Day. She told her mom she really misses things like the sing-a-long.
​
Annie, her mom, got on a group text that included long time teacher Paula Klinger and within a few days the sing-a-long was organized with a growing list of interested participants.

Wednesday evening a bit after 6 p.m. just under 50 former teachers, family and students of St. Pat's joined together for a few laughs and to lift their voices in song - including several old Irish standards including "McNamara;s Band," " Hibernia's Patron Saint, All Hail" and of course "Irish Eyes Are Smiling."

The smaller kids played in the yard beside the church while the older students sang along with their parents, grandparents and former teachers. There was a lot of green.
