A child who's born on the Sabbath day...

Our dear friend Fr. Bob tells the story of the day Patrick was born. "I looked out into the congregation just before the Consecration and noticed you were not in your usual places. And I thought to myself that a very special baby must be greeting the world." 

As it turned out, that was exactly when Patrick was born. 

Seventeen years ago.

Happy, happy birthday to the dear boy who is everything the old rhyme promised us.
