" Shouldn't you guys be celebrating this, like, a week after us or so? ;-)"
Nope...that would be the Old Calendarists. Bottom line is, TODAY, no matter what date one calls it, is St. Patricks Day!:)
All Hail to St. Patrick who brought to our island the Gift of God's Grace, the Sweet Light of His Love!
Amen and slainte!
