Despite the wind and rain, and I can still hear the ocean roaring as I'm writing this, Irish parishioners and friends in name and spirit gathered for mass in Irish Gaelic followed by food and entertainment in the gymatorium. Though the procession from Sea Bright to Rumson was contained to our parking lot, our church was full and there was nary an empty seat at the tables in the gymatorium.
Thanks to Pete Hogan and his helpers for organizing such a fun event for parishioners, friends and family.
