St. Patrick's Day at New Center

Did you KNOW?

The March 17 celebration started in 1631 when the Church established a Feast Day honoring St. Patrick. He had been Patron Saint of Ireland who had died around the fifth century—a whopping 12 centuries before the modern version of the holiday was first observed. St. Patrick was a Roman citizen, because Britain was Roman then. He then was enslaved and taken to Ireland, where he either escaped or was released. Later, he became a priest and went back to Ireland, where he had a lot of luck converting the Druid culture into Christians. #manufacturing #automotive #detroitjobs #stpatricksday2023
