No, I was not. I have walked by Moran's often enough, but was unaware of the Syrian Catholic connexion. (My maternal grandmother was Syrian Catholic.)

Whether I might be able to go is something I do not know. December is a long way off and I may be in either Virginia or South Carolina by then.

Fascinating. Well, if you are in the area, it sounds like you would fit right in with the Syrian Catholic and Irish influences at Moran's.
