    forgot his Mass Book. He did not discover this until he was half way up the mountain. There was such a multitude after him that when he told them what had happened the message passed so quickly from one to another that the Book reached the top of the mountain as soon as the Saint.
    We celebrate Saint Patricks Day on the seventeenth of March. On that day everybody wears a piece of shamrock and the children wear green ribbons. There is a story told of a man who failed to go to Mass on this day and who died suddenly during the day. This is a true story as it happened only fifteen years ago.
